Recent Enhancements, News, and Activities

  • Storage. The technical team started work on migrating WAS storage to San Diego Supercomputer Center. The timeline for completion is summer 2014. Once completed we will be able to realize significant cost savings on storage, which will be passed onto all WAS institutions.
  • New partner institution. The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) has joined us! FAO is headquartered in Rome, Italy. Their first priority will be to archive their over 600 web sites from across the world.

WAS Service Description

The Web Archiving Service (WAS) enables librarians, archivists and researchers to capture, curate and preserve websites and web‐published materials. WAS makes it easy to build web archives, with scheduling and other tools to help manage your archive. You control public access to your archives and can configure the appearance and navigation of each archive. We also provide collection development consultation and help desk support for web archiving questions.
