Good afternoon colleagues,
On Friday, April 22, 2022 SWOC will be holding a virtual AGM and guest speaker event from 12 pm – 2 pm. The talk will begin at 12 pm and the AGM will follow.
Raven Germain and Catherine Falls from Archive-It will join us to provide an exciting talk on web archiving with Archive-It.
In our increasingly online world, web archiving is becoming a critical aspect of archival practice. Archive-It, a web archiving service developed and maintained by non-profit
Internet Archive, enables organizations to build and share archived collections of websites, social media, and other web documents and materials. In this session, staff from the Internet Archive will provide a brief introduction to web archiving, as well as
an overview of Archive-It, including a discussion of the service’s major features and strategies for use. The session will also introduce attendees to Community Webs, a web archiving initiative for community-based organizations and collecting.
Raven Germain (she/her) first joined the Internet Archive in 2019 and started as a Web Archivist with the Archive-It team in 2020. Previously, she worked as a Public Services
Assistant at the University of Alberta Archives. She holds a Master of Library and Information Studies from the University of Alberta and enjoys supporting web archiving efforts from her home in New Brunswick, the traditional unceded territory of the Wolastoqiyik,
Mi’kmaq, and Peskotomuhkati peoples.
Catherine Falls (she/her) has worked for Internet Archive Canada as a Program Officer in Community Programs since 2021. Prior to this, Catherine was an Archivist at the Archives
of Ontario and held positions in archives and special collections libraries in the Toronto area. She holds Masters degrees in Information and Art History and will be joining the session from her home on the unceded ancestral territory of the Gabrielino/Tongva
peoples, also known as Tovaangar or the Los Angeles Basin.
We welcome everyone to attend the session and stay for the AGM to follow. Zoom details below:
