SUMMARY:Workshop: Reclaiming Our Bytes: Local Custody of Web Archives in an Uncertain Age
DESCRIPTION:Date: March 12\, 2026\nTime: 3:00 – 4:00 pm ET \nRecording \nThe Canadian Association of Research Libraries Digital Preservation Working Group (CARL DPWG) is hosting a free online workshop on WARC repatriation. This workshop aims to build capacity for data sovereignty by empowering institutions across Canada to locally preserve their Archive-It data. \nThe Internet Archive is a bedrock of the open web\, but recent DDoS attacks remind us that even dedicated guardians are vulnerable. True digital sovereignty means ensuring our national memory lives under our own protection. In this session\, we’ll show you how to build a redundancy plan for your Archive-It data based on UVic Libraries’ experience\, walking through the Archive-It API (WASAPI) to repatriate your WARCs to local infrastructure\, then demonstrating how to maintain seamless access using pywb and other tools. Don’t wait for a 404 on history\, take action now! \nThe workshop will be led by Corey Davis\, Digital Preservation Librarian at the University of Victoria\, and facilitated by Sarah Lake\, CARL Visiting Program Officer for Digital Preservation. \nThis webinar will be held in English and will be recorded. Automatic live transcription in French will be available.
