Re: New to List



Hi Leah,

We are starting a project to capture the websites of American right and left wing political groups for addition to the Wilcox Collection of Contemporary Political Movements at the University of Kansas.  We are planning to burn what we capture onto CDs.  The CDs will be made available to researchers who visit the Wilcox Collection.

We are also experimenting with a software called Teleport Pro that will pull the sites off the web for us (plus sites that are linked to the focus site).  This includes graphics, etc.  I don't know about sound clips.  Please contact me if you would like to know more about the project.

Hello!
I have just joined the list and wanted to post a question for discussion.  Sorry if I am repeating something that has already been "talked" about.
I work for a public television station that produces many accompanying web sites for our television shows.  We have made several attempts to burn CD's in order to save websites but this doesn't seem real practical for long-term storage.  Especially since we are concerned about all the various parts of the sites - graphics, still images, video clips, sound clips, text and links.  Our sites change often or disappear after the current production's life so we are looking for a way  to "rebuild" them from the pieces, if  possible. 
Has anyone been archiving web sites or developed a method for capturing their content for long-term storage?  
Thank you for any advice you can give!
