Five Tips for Designing Preservable Websites | The Bigger Picture Here at the Smithsonian Institution Archives, we take pride in preserving the Institution’s history, including its sizable web presence. While various offices at the Smithsonian create and back up the contents of their websites, the Archives also crawls each website using Heritrix<http://crawler.archive.org/>, an open-source tool created by the Internet Archive<http://www.archive.org/>, to capture content in an archival format. Our aim is to preserve the ABCs of digital objects: appearance, behavior, and content. We take care to tailor crawl configurations to each specific website to capture as much of its ABCs as possible while adhering to our collections policy. http://bit.ly/rgyeIB Source: http://blog.photography.si.edu/2011/08/02/five-tips-for-designing-preservable-websites/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed:+si/vrZU+(The+Bigger+Picture)<http://blog.photography.si.edu/2011/08/02/five-tips-for-designing-preservable-websites/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed:+si/vrZU+%28The+Bigger+Picture%29> See if people are clicking on this link: http://bit.ly/rgyeIB+ Try the bitly.com sidebar to see who is talking about a page on the web: http://bitly.com/pages/sidebar -- Peter Kurilecz CRM CA [log in to unmask] Richmond, Va http://twitter.com/RAINbyte http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/RAINbyte/ http://paper.li/RAINbyte/rainbyte Information not relevant for my reply has been deleted to reduce the electronic footprint and to save the sanity of digest subscribers List archives at http://lists.ufl.edu/archives/recmgmt-l.html Contact [log in to unmask] for assistance To unsubscribe from this list, click the below link.
