Introduction

• Dalhousie Libraries uses the Internet Archives' Archive-It tool to collect websites and build web archive collections. Web archive collections can be searched in Archive-It.
  
  
• The Web Archiving Handbook includes procedures and other resources to guide the development of web archive collections that form part of the Archives Permanent Collection. When possible, the Handbook links to official documentation published in the Archive-It Help Center.
  
  
• Terms in the Handbook are defined in the Dalhousie Libraries' Documentation Wiki Glossary.
