From the Preface
Any attempt at a bibliography is by necessity an attempt at naming, defining, and categorizing. As web archiving is still a nascent field, clear definitions and concepts are sometimes difficult to find.
For example, the term “web archiving” is often used interchangeably with “web preservation” in the literature, without any clarification or distinction between the two. I argue that web preservation is a subset of digital preservation, that is, the process of maintaining Internet resources in a condition suitable for use. Web archiving is the action of storing Internet resources to preserve them as a historical, informational, legal, or evidential record. A web archive is a system which contains such records.
Document includes a brief history of web archiving.
