Web Archiving for All! https://webrecorder.net

Get more out of Browsertrix with crawl deduplication. Our crawler can now reference existing data as it runs, saving only new information to disk. We’re rolling it out to select users at first, let us know if you’d like to try it out early!

This incredible story underscores, amongst other things, the need for trust and transparency in arching tools, and for web archiving toolchain to be fully open source and archives to be verifiable.

The headline does not convey how completely batshit this story is. The Archive Today (archive.ph etc) admin weaponized the site's captcha to attack a blogger who wrote about them and *altered archived screenshots* as part of the attack. arstechnica.com/tech-policy/...

Love this new initiative by @webrecorder.net: GovArchive.us, mirroring dynamic sites as a static web archive, while preserving the previous URL structure. Could be a really compelling options for digital humanities projects, too.

I put together this mini-site for @webrecorder.net showcasing our US Government web archives Replace “.gov” with “.govarchive.‍us” on any of the supported government sites to seamlessly browse archived versions, including sites like USAID that are now gone Blog post in the quoted post!
