This course is divided into modules that are designed to build sequentally throughout the course.
There are fourteen modules in total starting the first week of class and ending the last week of the semester.
Each week there is an Overview and Objectives section which gives students an idea of what is going to be happening in that week's module.
The Readings page will list the required and optional readings for that week. In addition to traditional readings, there are videos and sometimes audio recordings for students to listen to.
A feature of each module called Exploring Web Archives is included to give students a bit of a guided introduction to the wide range of web archives and collections that exist around the world. These explorations are generally a part of the weekly discussion.
Finally, in each module there is a Discussion related to the topics covered that week. Additionally, the web archives the students explored in the Exploring Web Archives section will come back as part of the weekly discussion.
Generally the current week's module and the following week's module will get published for students that like to work a bit ahead. The graded discussions are opened on Monday morning of the module week.
In addition to weekly readings, activities, and discussions, there are four major assignments spread across the semester. The final assignment is informed by the third assignment.
This course has been taught in the following semesters.
- UNT INFO 5960.001 - Web Archiving - Spring 2023
- UNT INFO 5960.001 - Web Archiving - Spring 2022
If you notice typos, have readings that you would like to suggest, or have ideas for web archiving activities I am interested in receiving contributions to this course. Please reach out to me directly, or if you are inclined, submit an Issue with this repository.
The readings and activities in this course were in part informed by instructors of similar courses around the country. I would like to highlight the work of Samantha Abrams (WISC) , Lori Donovan (UMICH), and Ayoung Yoon (UNC).
