A moving photo & one I haven't seen before. Contemporary resources tell richer stories. 3 years ago, Emily Escamilla wrote about better understanding 9/11 via the Internet Archive's The Wayback Machine & @tvnewsarchive (she was 2 years old at the time). ws-dl.blogspot.com/2021/10/2021-1…


Our article, "Web Archives for Data Collection: An Ethics Case Study" is now available!👇🔗 The work considers some ethical nuances of research practice when studying peoples' info. in web archives. #WebArchiveWednesday Deanna Zarrillo Erjia Yan Chaoqun Ni tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…

For #WebArchiveWednesday I wanted to shout out Talya Cooper for this article I recently came across discussing the scramble to archive vanishing sports media. A great reminder that the best time to archive something is when you come across it and the second best time is now!


I am truly honored to have received the National Science Foundation (NSF) travel award to attend #CIKM2024 in Boise, Idaho. I sincerely thank #NSF for this support & extend my appreciation to Drs.

I presented our paper today at #ipres2024 titled, "Archiving Digital Marketing: Examining Preservation of Dynamic Content on the Web Through the Lens of Online Advertisements" The slides are available at matkelly.com/ipres2024 h/t Roxana Maurer-Popistașu for the photo



New study highlighting the critical role of web archives & the The Wayback Machine in preserving web content at risk of disappearing ⬇️ Authors: Kritika garg, Sawood Alam, Dietrich Ayala, Michele Weigle, Michael L. Nelson


UPDATE: yesterday Routledge Books Taylor & Francis Research Insights told all staff that it's extra important to meet 2024 targets as they have promised the LLM companies a quota of books for them to digest to train their AIs. So if your editor is pushing you to meet that deadline, this is why!



As quite a large amount of research we do at WS-DL Group, ODU CS relies on and relates to the Internet Archive this attack has been quite a devastating sting on academia and the Web community at large. ws-dl.blogspot.com/2023/10/2023-1…
