Times Higher Education - Memory failure detected
A coalition of the willing is battling legal, logistical and technical
obstacles to archive the riches of the mercurial World Wide Web for the
benefit of future scholars. Zoë Corbyn reports
It is 2031 and a researcher wants to study what London's bloggers were
saying about the riots taking place in their city in 2011. Many of the
relevant websites have long since disappeared, so she turns to the archives
to find out what has been preserved. But she comes up against a brick wall:
much of the material was never stored or has been only partially archived.
It will be impossible to get the full picture.
