  • 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 Extent tag include "# archived web site (s)content"*
    • EXAMPLE: 12.93 linear feet ((31 file boxes) plus 2 folio+ folders, 10 photograph folders, 3 audiotapes, 4 videotapes, 1 archived web site content
      •  
    • 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.

      See Papers of Susan Griffin finding aid.

* As of December 2022, we will stop enumerating the number of archived web sites and use the broader statement "archived web site content".

    • In file unit descriptions, use “E” as the container followed by a file unit number. New practice (as of January 2019) is to provide more information in the <unittitle>. This will include specifying that it is an "archived web site" and adding the actual URL of the site.

      EXAMPLE: E.1. Susan Brownmiller’s archived web site: http://www.susanbrownmiller.com, 2010-ongoing. [hot link added by Paula]


    • If there are multiple web sites these should be grouped under one E#. This means that the sites will be searchable as a group in Archive-It (See the section below on "About Groups" for more information).  In this case, the URLs should be listed within a scope and content tag for the folder entry.  If you want to list your sites separately in the finding aid inventory, such as in different series, discuss first with Laura or Paula.  See below for more information on groups.

      GROUP EXAMPLE: E.1. Deanna Booher's archived web sites as Queen Kong and Queen Adrena, 2018-ongoing. [hot link added by Paula]

      Scope and Content note: GLAMAZON QUEEN KONG (http://goddessqueenkong.blogspot.com/); Queen Adrena (http://queenadrena.com/); Queen Adrena (http://queenadrena.net/); Matilda the Hun from GLOW; Queen Kong (http://queenkong.com/).

Click on the name of the collection. The page below is where you should enter your search. To see if your collection web site is already in Schlesinger Library Sites, you can search on a term in the current URL, the full URL of the web site (i.e., http://annpmeredith.com/), or on the creator name using either first or last name or both (formatted as first name last name).  Keep in mind that it is possible that a web site URL may have changed at some point and we may not be capturing the current iteration. Also, when you search on a creator name it is possible that all the relevant archived sites may not show up in your search results due to the limitations of the metadata.  You can always check the group listing on the left side of the page to see double check if there are multiple sites for a creator before you search on the creator's name. If you have difficulty finding your site for any reason, browsing through the list of groups or creators on the left side of the page may prove helpful.  Or, you can use the title sort function just under the search box at the top of the list, but be aware that the title is listed in alphabetical order by the first word (hence Ann Meredith shows up first).  If you are unsuccessful in your search, you can let Laura know when you request the site be harvested; she will double check the production side of Archive-it before she adds the site for harvesting.
