Web Archiving Community
๐ฌ Join us on our new ArchiveBox community chat server: https://Zulip.ArchiveBox.io
๐ข Just getting started and want to learn more about why Web Archiving is important?
ย ย ย Check out this article: On the Importance of Web Archiving.
The internet archiving community is surprisingly far-reaching and almost universally friendly! It has some overlap with the scraping and OSINT worlds, but it's also kinda its own thing.
Whether you want to learn which organizations are the big players in the web archiving space, want to find a specific open source tool for your web archiving need, or just want to see where archivists hang out online, this is my attempt at an index of the entire web archiving community. The alternatives and recent reading list were reviewed in October 2026; older resources are retained for historical context.
-
The Master Lists Community-maintained indexes of web archiving tools and groups by IIPC, COPTR, ArchiveTeam, Wikipedia, & the ASA.
-
Web Archiving Software Applications, services and tools grouped by audience.
-
Reading List Articles, posts, and blogs relevant to ArchiveBox and web archiving in general.

Articles in Other Languages Chinese ยท French ยท German ยท Italian ยท Japanese ยท Polish ยท Portuguese ยท Russian ยท Spanish

Communities A collection of the most active internet archiving communities and initiatives.
Indexes of archiving institutions and software maintained by other people. If there's anything archivists love doing, it's making lists.
