THE ALABAMA DEPT. OF ARCHIVES AND HISTORY (ADAH), ARCHIVE-IT, AND SOCIAL MEDIA

PRESENTED BY MIKE BREEDLOVE AT THE SOCIETY OF ALABAMA ARCHIVISTS MEETING, OCTOBER 4, 2013

WHAT IS ARCHIVE-IT?

• ARCHIVE-IT IS A SUBSCRIPTION SERVICE FROM THE INTERNET ARCHIVE THAT ALLOWS INSTITUTIONS TO BUILD AND PRESERVE COLLECTIONS OF BORN DIGITAL CONTENT. ITS MOTTO IS UNIVERSAL ACCESS TO ALL KNOWLEDGE

• COLLECTIONS ARE HOSTED AT THE INTERNET ARCHIVE DATA CENTER AND ARE ACCESSIBLE TO THE PUBLIC WITH FULL-TEXT SEARCH.

• THE INTERNET ARCHIVE, A 501(C)(3) NON-PROFIT, IS BUILDING A DIGITAL LIBRARY OF INTERNET SITES AND OTHER CULTURAL ARTIFACTS IN DIGITAL FORM. LIKE A PAPER LIBRARY, IT PROVIDES FREE ACCESS TO RESEARCHERS, HISTORIANS, SCHOLARS, AND THE GENERAL PUBLIC.

WHAT IS THE INTERNET ARCHIVE WAYBACK MACHINE?

• THE INTERNET ARCHIVE WAYBACK MACHINE IS A SERVICE THAT ALLOWS PEOPLE TO VISIT ARCHIVED VERSIONS OF WEB SITES. VISITORS TO THE WAYBACK MACHINE CAN TYPE IN A URL, SELECT A DATE RANGE, AND THEN BEGIN SURFING ON AN ARCHIVED VERSION OF THE WEB. IMAGINE SURFING CIRCA 1999 AND LOOKING AT ALL THE Y2K HYPE, OR REVISITING AN OLDER VERSION OF YOUR FAVORITE WEB SITE. THE INTERNET ARCHIVE WAYBACK MACHINE CAN MAKE ALL OF THIS POSSIBLE

HOW DOES INFORMATION GET INTO ARCHIVE-IT?

• FIRST, PARTNERS JOIN ARCHIVE-IT AND PAY A SUBSCRIPTION TO COLLECT A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF URLS

• NEXT, PARTNERS CREATE COLLECTIONS COMPOSED OF SEEDS (THESE ARE URLS, USUALLY HOME PAGES) AND EACH PARTNER ADDS METADATA TO THOSE SEEDS

• A SEED IS DEFINED AS A URL THAT IS ONE OF THE STARTING ADDRESSES A WEB CRAWLER USES TO CAPTURE CONTENT. IT IS ALSO CALLED A TARGETED URL

MORE ON HOW DOES INFORMATION GET INTO ARCHIVE-IT?

• NEXT, ARCHIVE-IT USES HERITRIX, ITS CRAWLER, TO COLLECT PAGES AND DATA FROM SEEDS

• HERITRIX IS THE INTERNET ARCHIVE'S OPEN-SOURCE, EXTENSIBLE, WEB-SCALE, ARCHIVAL-QUALITY WEB CRAWLER PROJECT. FOR MORE, GO TO HTTP://CRAWLER.ARCHIVE.ORG/

• HERITRIX IS DESIGNED TO RESPECT THE ROBOTS.TXT EXCLUSION DIRECTIVES (TO NOT CRAWL A SITE OR A PORTION OF IT AS DIRECTED) AND META ROBOTS TAGS (TO NOT CRAWL A PAGE OR SET OF PAGES), AND COLLECT MATERIAL AT A MEASURED, ADAPTIVE PACE UNLIKELY TO DISRUPT NORMAL WEBSITE ACTIVITY

WHAT IS THE ROLE OF THE ADAH IN ARCHIVE-IT?

• THERE ARE MORE THAN TWENTY STATE ARCHIVES OR STATE LIBRARIES THAT ARE MEMBERS OF ARCHIVE-IT

• THE ALABAMA DEPARTMENT OF ARCHIVES AND HISTORY (ADAH) IS ONE OF THOSE STATE ARCHIVES, BEING A MEMBER SINCE 2005. MARK PALMER AND TRACEY BEREZANSKY WERE THE ARCHIVES’ PIONEERS IN USING ARCHIVE-IT

• TO DATE THE ADAH HAS COLLECTED OVER THIRTY NINE MILLION PAGES, AND OVER TWO AND FOUR TENTHS TERABYTES OF DATA AS A PART OF ARCHIVE-IT

• THIS YEAR THE ADAH HAS COLLECTED OVER NINE MILLION PAGES AND OVER 750 GIGABYTES OF DATA

MORE ON WHAT IS THE ROLE OF THE ADAH IN ARCHIVE-IT?

• ARCHIVE-IT IS A RELATIVELY INEXPENSIVE WAY FOR THE ARCHIVES TO DOCUMENT AND ARCHIVE STATE AGENCY WEB SITES AND SOCIAL MEDIA FOR ALL THREE BRANCHES OF GOVERNMENT. WE DO THIS TO DOCUMENT STATE AGENCIES MORE COMPLETELY

• FOR THAT REASON ALL OF THE WEBSITES AND SOCIAL MEDIA OUTLETS ARE CONSIDERED PUBLIC RECORDS OF ARCHIVAL VALUE BY THE STATE RECORDS COMMISSION AND THEREFORE ARE APPRAISED AS PERMANENT

• THE FIRST FOCUS OF THE ADAH ACTIVITY IN ARCHIVE-IT IS TO DOCUMENT WEB PAGES CREATED AND MAINTAINED BY ALABAMA STATE GOVERNMENT.

MORE ON WHAT IS THE ROLE OF THE ADAH IN ARCHIVE-IT?

• A SECOND FOCUS OF ADAH ACTIVITY IN ARCHIVE-IT HAS BEEN TO DOCUMENT WEB PAGES CREATED AND MAINTAINED BY ALABAMA MULTI-COUNTY AGENCIES.

• EXAMPLES INCLUDE THE ALABAMA-TOMBIGBEE REGIONAL COMMISSION WEBSITE, TOP OF ALABAMA REGIONAL COUNCIL OF GOVERNMENTS WEBSITE, AND OTHERS

EVEN MORE ON WHAT IS THE ROLE OF THE ADAH IN ARCHIVE-IT?

• A THIRD FOCUS OF ADAH ACTIVITY IN ARCHIVE-IT HAS BEEN TO DOCUMENT WEB PAGES CREATED AND MAINTAINED BY ALABAMA POLITICAL BLOGS ACROSS THE POLITICAL SPECTRUM AND SOCIAL MEDIA PAGES ON FACEBOOK AND TWITTER

• A LIST OF THE ADAH COLLECTIONS IS AT HTTP://WWW.ARCHIVE-IT.ORG/PUBLIC/PARTNER.HTML?ID=62

ALABAMA DEPT. OF ARCHIVES AND HISTORY (ADAH) COLLECTIONS ON

ARCHIVE-IT• AT THIS POINT THE ADAH HAS THIRTY (30) COLLECTIONS ON ARCHIVE-IT,

WITH FOUR HUNDRED THIRTY THREE (433) SEEDS.

• SOME COLLECTIONS ARE CRAWLED TWICE A YEAR, SUCH AS ALL THE CONSTITUTIONAL OFFICERS, STATE AGENCIES, DISTRICT ATTORNEYS, AND BLOG COLLECTIONS AND THE YOUTUBE VIDEOS COLLECTION

• SOME COLLECTIONS, SUCH AS THE NEWS AND RSS FEEDS, FACEBOOK AND TWITTER COLLECTIONS, ARE CRAWLED SIX TIMES A YEAR

SOCIAL MEDIA COLLECTIONS

• THE ADAH COLLECTS FACEBOOK PAGES, TWITTER FEEDS AND YOUTUBE VIDEOS TO DOCUMENT THE SOCIAL SIDE OF ALABAMA GOVERNMENT AND ALABAMA POLITICS

• WE HOPE TO ADD FLICKR PHOTO STREAMS, BUT ARE AT THE EXPERIMENTATION STAGE NOW

• THESE COLLECTIONS BLUR THE LINES SOMEWHAT BETWEEN APPRAISAL AND DESCRIPTION, BETWEEN PUBLIC AND PRIVATE RECORDS, AND BETWEEN PERSONAL AND INSTITUTIONAL COMMUNICATION

SOCIAL MEDIA COLLECTIONS

• IF WE LOOK AT THE COLLECTIONS IN MORE DETAIL THE FUNCTIONS OF COLLECTION DEVELOPMENT, COLLECTION SCOPE, SELECTION, DESCRIPTION AND ACCESS ARE DISCERNABLE, AND IT IS USUALLY APPARENT WHEN ONE FUNCTION STOPS AND THE OTHER STARTS

• WHAT IS SOMEWHAT HARDER TO DIFFERENTIATE IS THE SEPARATION BETWEEN PUBLIC AND PRIVATE RECORDS IN THIS BYOD (BRING YOUR OWN DEVICE) INTERCONNECTED AND SYNCHRONIZED WORLD

SUMMARY AND THOUGHTS

• ARCHIVE-IT CRAWLS WEB SITES ON ITS OWN AND TRIES TO ARCHIVE THE ENTIRE WEB EACH YEAR, THOUGH (AS A RULE) IT ADDS LITTLE OR NO METADATA

• PARTNERS CREATE COLLECTIONS AND ADD METADATA TO FACILITATE DISCOVERY OF WEBSITES AND THE INFORMATION ON THOSE WEBSITES

• ARCHIVE-IT DOES NOT CRAWL SOCIAL MEDIA SITES LIKE FACEBOOK, TWITTER, AND FLICKR UNLESS A PARTNER CONDUCTS THE CRAWL AS PART OF ITS BUDGET

• THE TRULY UNIQUE COLLECTIONS CREATED, SELECTED, AND CATALOGED BY THE ADAH ON ARCHIVE-IT ARE THE SOCIAL MEDIA COLLECTIONS

• THOSE SOCIAL MEDIA COLLECTIONS INSURE ACCESS TO PUBLIC RECORDS THAT WOULD OTHERWISE BY INACCESSIBLE
