Join us for our 3rd quarterly meet-up of Webjam for 2025!
Keeping up with web archiving maintenance can be challenging, so we created Webjam, a virtual co-working space, where we meet quarterly to run crawls and problem-solve. As past steering committee members of the Society of American Archivists Web Archiving Section, we often discussed how maintaining web archives programs is an isolating task. As the solo managers of the web archives programs at our respective institutions, we created this space to support each other. Web archiving requires constant maintenance and labor, especially because of ever-evolving dynamic and interactive web content, so finding time to consistently work on it can be challenging when we have so many other work responsibilities. However, we found that scheduling this time helps us stay on top of it. Join us at our next Webjam, where all levels of web archiving are welcome. Even if you don't have questions, you are welcome to (virtually!) hang out, meet fellow practitioners, and work on your web archives collections!
Sign up here to receive a Zoom link the day before the meeting.
When: September 23, 2025 @ 11:00 AM Eastern Time
What we'll do: Open discussion format where participants can ask questions, chat, and offer web archiving support to the group.
Who: Hosted by Corinne Chatnik (Union College) and Amanda Greenwood (University of Virginia). Questions or comments? Email web.jam.archives@gmail.com.
We also created a Google Group for Webjam to allow for more support and collaboration. Please sign up here. If you have a Gmail account and are signed in, you can easily sign up by clicking the "Join Group" option. If you have any problems joining the group, please email us back at this email and we will manually add you to the group.
