  • 1.  Webjam: A Web Archiving Jamboree! Join our virtual web archiving co-working space March 25 @ 11:00am EST

    Posted 7 days ago

    Join us for our first 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: March 25, 2025 @ 11:00 AM Eastern Time

    What we'll do: Open discussion format where participants can ask questions, chat, and offer 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.
