There's always the option of capturing a WARC of the newspaper as the
preservation master for dark storage, and generating PDFs for access via
your CMS. If you're in ContentDM already, then a PDF would be much easier
to use (both on the back and frontends).
The provenance metadata of WARC is too

While I agree with Kyle that it's ultimately the content that's
important and that hypothetical researcher needs are inexhaustible, I do

Hi Kathryn,
Right now the WARC format is considered the best preservation format for
websites/social media, in terms of digital archives. It is our best guess
right now. It will likely will be with us for a long time, because it has
been adopted by most of the major players.
The way I have seen
For what it's worth, the latest wayback code is:
https://github.com/iipc/openwayback
And being developed by the IIPC consortium, rather than just the Internet
Archive alone.
It has many additional features, contributed by other members.
It should be used in preference to the sourceforge

will that content fair long-term? Also, how is the WARC served to an end-user?

Lisa,
Is your local web archive available online? I'd like to see a production
example of non-Internet Archive instance of Wayback/Open Wayback.
Thanks,

Hi Nathan,
Nope, unfortunately not...It was done as a test, and at that time we used
the IA only version.

Hi-
We actually have implemented the original question above with some shell
scripts[1] for harvesting, and creating SIPs. The SIPs are then ingested
into our Islandora instance with the Web ARChive Solution Pack[2] as

When you write strategy do you mean a technology solution or a preservation

Thanks for the thoughtful responses. We've been actively digitizing our print
paper (which ceased publication in 2011) and I was thinking of this as an
extension of that effort. Right now, I think capturing a monthly WARC file of

As an archivist, I don't see any problem using a PDF. Technically it should
be a PDF-A, but realistically it is usually a PDF.
I have done projects where I used PDFs for the archiving of full websites.
It can be quite handy, depending on needs of course. Sometimes it works
