ArchivePress dissemination got off to a flying start thanks to the DPC/JISC/UKWAC who invited us to make a short presentation about it at Tuesday’s workshop, Missing Links: The Enduring Web, at the British Library. For those of you content with the silent version, the slides from my presentation are attached below, courtesy Slideshare.
Lots of other interesting projects were presented – the slides of these are all available at the DPC website. Reports sighted so far include Marieke Guy’s report for JISC-PoWR, and a post on Jonathan Clark’s blog. I’ll add any further sightings as comments. Some Tweets were also spotted with the tag WAC09.
Among the updates on web preservation initiatives that we are familiar with, particularly at TNA and BL, it was particularly interesting to hear Hanno Lecher’s presentation on his citation repository for DACHS at Leiden. Keeping safe copies of the web resources cited by researchers or students seems hugely important to me: I’d like to see institutions getting more involved in that, and ArchivePress may have a part to play.
