International Internet Preservation Consortium (IIPC) – Web archiving

The Internet has revolutionised the way we share knowledge and connect with others, but it has also posed challenges for institutions responsible for preserving and documenting contemporary culture. To ensure the survival of web-based content, web archiving is necessary. It involves collecting and preserving web pages in an archival format for future access and use. The International Internet Preservation Consortium (IIPC) provides a forum for the sharing of knowledge about web archiving and develops and recommends standards for collecting, preserving and providing long-term access to Internet content.
