Past members

WebCite used to be, but is no longer, a member of the IIPC.[8] In a 2012 message, its founder Gunther Eysenbach commented that "WebCite has no funding, and IIPC charges 4000 Euro/yr in membership fees."[9]

Projects

The IIPC sponsors and collaborates on a number of different projects with its member organizations.

Current projects

  • Support for transitioning to pywb (Python Wayback).[10]
  • Collaborative Collections: IIPC members are collaborating to build public web archive collections based on transnational themes or events of mutual interest. Topics of existing collections include: European Refugee Crisis, Intergovernmental Organizations, Olympics, World War I Commemoration, Climate Change, Artificial Intelligence, and Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19).[11]
  • Memento: aggregate metadata of the IIPC archives and provide access to Memento.[12]

IIPC also maintains an electronic mailing list open to anyone interested in issues associated with web harvesting, archiving, and quality maintenance issues.[13]

Past projects

  • Developing Bloom Filters for Web Archives’ Holdings.[14]
  • Improving the Dark and Stormy Archives Framework by Summarizing the Collections of the National Library of Australia[15]
  • LinkGate: Core Functionality and Future Use Cases.[16]
  • Asking questions with web archives – introductory notebooks for historians: The project output is a set of 16 Jupyter notebooks that demonstrate how specific historical research questions can be explored by analysing data from web archives.[17][18][19]
  • IIPC sponsored a project on "cross-archival search strategies" which included the creation of an archive focused on the 2010 Winter Olympics.[20]
  • Starting in 2006, the National Library of New Zealand and the British Library developed the Web Curator Tool, an open-source workflow management system for selective web archiving.[21] Version 1.6 was released on December 5, 2012, and is available at SourceForge.[22] The Web Curator Tool is built upon Java technologies such as Apache Tomcat, the Spring Framework and Hibernate, and Internet Archives technologies such as the Heritrix web archiving crawler, the NutchWAX web archive full-text search engine and the Wayback Machine.[23]
  • IIPC Web Archiving Doctoral Support Award: grant to provide three years of funding for a student to earn a PhD in Interdisciplinary Information Science at The University of North Texas College of Information.[24]
  • IIPC Member Staff Exchange: onsite training by experts for participating IIPC members to use Heritrix 3 web crawler.[25]
  • Working group on Statistics and Quality Indicators for Web Archiving: development of guidelines on the management and evaluation of Web archiving activities and products.[26]
