1. THE ALABAMA DEPT. OF
ARCHIVES AND HISTORY
(ADAH), ARCHIVE-IT, AND
SOCIAL MEDIA
PRESENTED BY MIKE BREEDLOVE AT THE SOCIETY OF
ALABAMA ARCHIVISTS MEETING, OCTOBER 4, 2013

2. WHAT IS ARCHIVE-IT?
• ARCHIVE-IT IS A SUBSCRIPTION SERVICE FROM THE
INTERNET ARCHIVE THAT ALLOWS INSTITUTIONS TO BUILD
AND PRESERVE COLLECTIONS OF BORN DIGITAL CONTENT.
ITS MOTTO IS UNIVERSAL ACCESS TO ALL KNOWLEDGE
• COLLECTIONS ARE HOSTED AT THE INTERNET ARCHIVE DATA
CENTER AND ARE ACCESSIBLE TO THE PUBLIC WITH FULL-
TEXT SEARCH.
• THE INTERNET ARCHIVE, A 501(C)(3) NON-PROFIT, IS BUILDING
A DIGITAL LIBRARY OF INTERNET SITES AND OTHER
CULTURAL ARTIFACTS IN DIGITAL FORM. LIKE A PAPER
LIBRARY, IT PROVIDES FREE ACCESS TO
RESEARCHERS, HISTORIANS, SCHOLARS, AND THE GENERAL

3. WHAT IS THE INTERNET ARCHIVE WAYBACK
MACHINE?
• THE INTERNET ARCHIVE WAYBACK MACHINE IS A SERVICE
THAT ALLOWS PEOPLE TO VISIT ARCHIVED VERSIONS OF WEB
SITES. VISITORS TO THE WAYBACK MACHINE CAN TYPE IN A
URL, SELECT A DATE RANGE, AND THEN BEGIN SURFING ON
AN ARCHIVED VERSION OF THE WEB. IMAGINE SURFING
CIRCA 1999 AND LOOKING AT ALL THE Y2K HYPE, OR
REVISITING AN OLDER VERSION OF YOUR FAVORITE WEB
SITE. THE INTERNET ARCHIVE WAYBACK MACHINE CAN MAKE
ALL OF THIS POSSIBLE

4. HOW DOES INFORMATION GET INTO
ARCHIVE-IT?
• FIRST, PARTNERS JOIN ARCHIVE-IT AND PAY A SUBSCRIPTION
TO COLLECT A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF URLS
• NEXT, PARTNERS CREATE COLLECTIONS COMPOSED OF
SEEDS (THESE ARE URLS, USUALLY HOME PAGES) AND EACH
PARTNER ADDS METADATA TO THOSE SEEDS
• A SEED IS DEFINED AS A URL THAT IS ONE OF THE STARTING
ADDRESSES A WEB CRAWLER USES TO CAPTURE CONTENT.
IT IS ALSO CALLED A TARGETED URL

5. MORE ON HOW DOES INFORMATION GET
INTO ARCHIVE-IT?
• NEXT, ARCHIVE-IT USES HERITRIX, ITS CRAWLER, TO
COLLECT PAGES AND DATA FROM SEEDS
• HERITRIX IS THE INTERNET ARCHIVE'S OPEN-
SOURCE, EXTENSIBLE, WEB-SCALE, ARCHIVAL-QUALITY WEB
CRAWLER PROJECT. FOR MORE, GO TO
HTTP://CRAWLER.ARCHIVE.ORG/
• HERITRIX IS DESIGNED TO RESPECT THE ROBOTS.TXT
EXCLUSION DIRECTIVES (TO NOT CRAWL A SITE OR A
PORTION OF IT AS DIRECTED) AND META ROBOTS TAGS (TO
NOT CRAWL A PAGE OR SET OF PAGES), AND COLLECT
MATERIAL AT A MEASURED, ADAPTIVE PACE UNLIKELY TO
DISRUPT NORMAL WEBSITE ACTIVITY

6. WHAT IS THE ROLE OF THE ADAH IN
ARCHIVE-IT?
• THERE ARE MORE THAN TWENTY STATE ARCHIVES OR STATE
LIBRARIES THAT ARE MEMBERS OF ARCHIVE-IT
• THE ALABAMA DEPARTMENT OF ARCHIVES AND HISTORY
(ADAH) IS ONE OF THOSE STATE ARCHIVES, BEING A MEMBER
SINCE 2005. MARK PALMER AND TRACEY BEREZANSKY WERE
THE ARCHIVES’ PIONEERS IN USING ARCHIVE-IT
• TO DATE THE ADAH HAS COLLECTED OVER THIRTY NINE
MILLION PAGES, AND OVER TWO AND FOUR TENTHS
TERABYTES OF DATA AS A PART OF ARCHIVE-IT
• THIS YEAR THE ADAH HAS COLLECTED OVER NINE MILLION
PAGES AND OVER 750 GIGABYTES OF DATA

7. MORE ON WHAT IS THE ROLE OF THE ADAH
IN ARCHIVE-IT?
• ARCHIVE-IT IS A RELATIVELY INEXPENSIVE WAY FOR THE
ARCHIVES TO DOCUMENT AND ARCHIVE STATE AGENCY WEB
SITES AND SOCIAL MEDIA FOR ALL THREE BRANCHES OF
GOVERNMENT. WE DO THIS TO DOCUMENT STATE AGENCIES
MORE COMPLETELY
• FOR THAT REASON ALL OF THE WEBSITES AND SOCIAL MEDIA
OUTLETS ARE CONSIDERED PUBLIC RECORDS OF ARCHIVAL
VALUE BY THE STATE RECORDS COMMISSION AND
THEREFORE ARE APPRAISED AS PERMANENT
• THE FIRST FOCUS OF THE ADAH ACTIVITY IN ARCHIVE-IT IS TO
DOCUMENT WEB PAGES CREATED AND MAINTAINED BY
ALABAMA STATE GOVERNMENT.

8. MORE ON WHAT IS THE ROLE OF THE ADAH
IN ARCHIVE-IT?
• A SECOND FOCUS OF ADAH ACTIVITY IN ARCHIVE-IT HAS
BEEN TO DOCUMENT WEB PAGES CREATED AND MAINTAINED
BY ALABAMA MULTI-COUNTY AGENCIES.
• EXAMPLES INCLUDE THE ALABAMA-TOMBIGBEE REGIONAL
COMMISSION WEBSITE, TOP OF ALABAMA REGIONAL COUNCIL
OF GOVERNMENTS WEBSITE, AND OTHERS

9. EVEN MORE ON WHAT IS THE ROLE OF THE
ADAH IN ARCHIVE-IT?
• A THIRD FOCUS OF ADAH ACTIVITY IN ARCHIVE-IT HAS BEEN
TO DOCUMENT WEB PAGES CREATED AND MAINTAINED BY
ALABAMA POLITICAL BLOGS ACROSS THE POLITICAL
SPECTRUM AND SOCIAL MEDIA PAGES ON FACEBOOK AND
TWITTER
• A LIST OF THE ADAH COLLECTIONS IS AT
HTTP://WWW.ARCHIVE-
IT.ORG/PUBLIC/PARTNER.HTML?ID=62

10. ALABAMA DEPT. OF ARCHIVES AND HISTORY
(ADAH) COLLECTIONS ON ARCHIVE-IT
• AT THIS POINT THE ADAH HAS THIRTY (30) COLLECTIONS ON ARCHIVE-IT, WITH
FOUR HUNDRED THIRTY THREE (433) SEEDS.
• SOME COLLECTIONS ARE CRAWLED TWICE A YEAR, SUCH AS ALL THE
CONSTITUTIONAL OFFICERS, STATE AGENCIES, DISTRICT ATTORNEYS, AND
BLOG COLLECTIONS AND THE YOUTUBE VIDEOS COLLECTION
• SOME COLLECTIONS, SUCH AS THE NEWS AND RSS FEEDS, FACEBOOK AND
TWITTER COLLECTIONS, ARE CRAWLED SIX TIMES A YEAR

11. SOCIAL MEDIA COLLECTIONS
• THE ADAH COLLECTS FACEBOOK PAGES, TWITTER FEEDS AND YOUTUBE
VIDEOS TO DOCUMENT THE SOCIAL SIDE OF ALABAMA GOVERNMENT AND
ALABAMA POLITICS
• WE HOPE TO ADD FLICKR PHOTO STREAMS, BUT ARE AT THE
EXPERIMENTATION STAGE NOW
• THESE COLLECTIONS BLUR THE LINES SOMEWHAT BETWEEN APPRAISAL AND
DESCRIPTION, BETWEEN PUBLIC AND PRIVATE RECORDS, AND BETWEEN
PERSONAL AND INSTITUTIONAL COMMUNICATION

12. SOCIAL MEDIA COLLECTIONS
• IF WE LOOK AT THE COLLECTIONS IN MORE DETAIL THE FUNCTIONS OF
COLLECTION DEVELOPMENT, COLLECTION SCOPE, SELECTION, DESCRIPTION
AND ACCESS ARE DISCERNABLE, AND IT IS USUALLY APPARENT WHEN ONE
FUNCTION STOPS AND THE OTHER STARTS
• WHAT IS SOMEWHAT HARDER TO DIFFERENTIATE IS THE SEPARATION
BETWEEN PUBLIC AND PRIVATE RECORDS IN THIS BYOD (BRING YOUR OWN
DEVICE) INTERCONNECTED AND SYNCHRONIZED WORLD

34. SUMMARY AND THOUGHTS
• ARCHIVE-IT CRAWLS WEB SITES ON ITS OWN AND TRIES TO ARCHIVE THE ENTIRE WEB EACH
YEAR, THOUGH (AS A RULE) IT ADDS LITTLE OR NO METADATA
• PARTNERS CREATE COLLECTIONS AND ADD METADATA TO FACILITATE DISCOVERY OF
WEBSITES AND THE INFORMATION ON THOSE WEBSITES
• ARCHIVE-IT DOES NOT CRAWL SOCIAL MEDIA SITES LIKE FACEBOOK, TWITTER, AND FLICKR
UNLESS A PARTNER CONDUCTS THE CRAWL AS PART OF ITS BUDGET
• THE TRULY UNIQUE COLLECTIONS CREATED, SELECTED, AND CATALOGED BY THE ADAH ON
ARCHIVE-IT ARE THE SOCIAL MEDIA COLLECTIONS
• THOSE SOCIAL MEDIA COLLECTIONS INSURE ACCESS TO PUBLIC RECORDS THAT WOULD
OTHERWISE BY INACCESSIBLE
