 Frequently Asked Questions

A1 : Web archiving aims to acquire, preserve and provide access to historical information published online.

A2 : These activities that used to rely on physical records now increasingly use and link to pages and documents held on websites. Web archiving is a vital process to ensure that people and organisations can access and re-use knowledge in the long-term, and comply with the needs of retrieving their information.

A3 : The Internet Archive allows the public to upload and download digital material to its data cluster, but the bulk of its data is collected automatically by its web crawlers, which work to preserve as much of the public web as possible. Its web archive, the Wayback Machine, contains hundreds of billions of web captures.

A4 : Companies and organizations archive website content for various reasons; it could be to comply with industry standards, protect themselves from intellectual property theft and false claims, or simply preserve their history as they make changes to their existing website or implement a brand-new one.
