In our increasingly online world, web archiving - the process of capturing and preserving portions of the world wide web and making them available for research purposes - 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 Peskoto muhkati 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 Tongva peoples, also known as Tovaangar or the Los Angeles Basin.
