Web archiving is often undertaken at scale by public and private memory
institutions, academic researchers, and the Internet Archive. However,
individuals and non-institutional communities also have a stake in
documenting particular experiences of the live web: as collectors building
our own archives; as subjects represented via captured websites; and as
users of web archives that have been constructed in different ways and for
a variety of purposes. In this talk, I'll review some ways in which web
archives impact a growing code4lib community – as subjects, users, and
collectors – and reasons we might have to care about those impacts. I'll
also discuss hows and whys of DIY/personal web archiving, which I hope will
inspire exploration and action.
