  • If the web site isn't in Archive-It, the processor sends the web site URL to Laura Peimer to begin harvesting of the site.  At this point, the processor should be able to tell Laura whether the site needs a one-time capture or if it should be harvested annually or bi-annually. The schedule default is annual but if the organization doesn’t exist anymore or if the individual has died, we might want to schedule a one-time capture. Alternatively, if the site is very active, we can capture it bi-annually.  The processor should also indicate if there's anything particularly important on the site that we should ensure the Archive-It crawler captures (e.g. video clips, certain images, etc.)

  • In 2018 a pilot project was successfully completed linking digitized video content from the archived web site of the Women's Encampment to matching Vt-# entries in the Women's Encampment collection’s finding aid: https://hollisarchives.lib.harvard.edu/repositories/8/resources/8359

    By matching already digitized content from an archived web site to the finding aid -- where we have the corresponding analog content listed-- we are able to provide historical footage more readily and without the additional cost of reformatting on our end. When surveying, processors should consider identifying any possible 1-to-1 matches between digitized audiovisual content on the organization's or individual's archived web site with any physical original tapes in the collection.

  • If a web site exists and is being archived, the processor will add the following to the finding aid (see Sonia Fuentes for example: http://nrs.harvard.edu/urn-3:RAD.SCHL:sch01256):
            
    • In the Scope and Content: “XX’s web site is being captured periodically as part of Schlesinger Library’s web archiving program."

      EXAMPLE: Also included is Griffin's web site, which is being captured periodically as part of Schlesinger Library's web archiving program.
