THE INTERNET ARCHIVE WILL TRAIN 15 PUBLIC LIBRARIANS ON USING WEB ARCHIVES TO CAPTURE HISTORICALLY VALUABLE WEB MATERIALS DOCUMENTING THEIR LOCAL COMMUNITIES. PARTICIPATING LIBRARIANS WILL RECEIVE INTENSIVE TRAINING IN A VARIETY OF WEB ARCHIVING TOPICS THROUGH IN-PERSON AND ONLINE TRAININGS, PROFESSIONAL SUPPORT FROM EXPERTS ON WEB ARCHIVING IN PUBLIC LIBRARIES, AND COHORT-BASED ACTIVITIES. TRAINING MATERIALS WILL ALSO BE MADE FREELY AVAILABLE ONLINE FOR REUSE BY OTHERS. PARTICIPANTS? INSTITUTIONS WILL BE PROVIDED WITH FIVE-YEAR SUBSCRIPTIONS TO THE INTERNET ARCHIVE'S ARCHIVE-IT SERVICE, RESULTING IN THE LONG-TERM PRESERVATION OF OVER 35 TERABYTES OF WEB-PUBLISHED COMMUNITY HISTORY MATERIALS. THIS PROJECT WILL INCREASE THE CAPACITY OF PUBLIC LIBRARIES NATIONWIDE TO PARTICIPATE IN WEB ARCHIVING AND DOCUMENT THEIR COMMUNITY HISTORY.

INTERNET ARCHIVE, WORKING WITH MULTIPLE LIBRARY, ARCHIVE, AND MUSEUM (LAM) PARTNERS, WILL EXPAND AND ENHANCE THE ARCHIVES RESEARCH COMPUTE HUB (ARCH), AN OPEN-SOURCE PLATFORM SUPPORTING THE COMPUTATIONAL USE OF WEB ARCHIVES COLLECTIONS. THE PROJECT TEAM WILL CREATE USER-INFORMED WORKFLOWS AND CONTINUE SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT THAT ENABLES A DIVERSE SET OF PARTNERS TO ADD COLLECTIONS TO ARCH FOR UPLOAD, DISCOVERY, AND COMPUTATIONAL USE. THE TEAM ALSO WILL WORK WITH LIBRARIANS, SCHOLARS, AND RESEARCHERS TO EXPAND THE NUMBER AND TYPES OF DATA ANALYSIS JOBS AND RESULTING DATA SETS AND VISUALIZATIONS THAT CAN BE RUN ACROSS MULTI-INSTITUTIONAL DIGITAL COLLECTIONS. THE PLATFORM ENHANCED BY THIS PROJECT WILL INCREASE THE ABILITY OF SMALL- AND MID-SIZED LAM INSTITUTIONS TO CONTRIBUTE THEIR COLLECTIONS, WHICH ALSO ENSURES MORE DIVERSE AND REPRESENTATIVE COLLECTIONS CAN BE ANALYZED AT SCALE BY SCHOLARS, STUDENTS, AND THE GENERAL PUBLIC.

THE INTERNET ARCHIVE AND THE CENTER FOR OPEN SCIENCE (COS) WILL PROTOTYPE INNOVATIVE SOCIAL AND TECHNICAL WORK SUPPORTING OPEN SCIENCE DATA CURATION, PRESERVATION, AND ACCESS BY LIBRARIES AND ARCHIVES. THE PROJECT WILL BEGIN BY PILOTING REGISTRATIONS IN THE COS? OPEN SCIENCE FRAMEWORK (OSF). IT WILL THEN PURSUE TECHNICAL WORK FOR THE DISTRIBUTION OF THIS DATA ACROSS ADDITIONAL PRESERVATION NETWORKS TO EXPAND ITS AVAILABILITY TO LIBRARIANS FOR CURATION. THE PROJECT WILL THEN PROVIDE RELATED TRAINING TO A COHORT OF DATA STEWARDS, CONDUCT EXPLORATORY WORK TO INCLUDE ADDITIONAL OSF DATASETS, AND TEST LIBRARY SERVICES SUPPORTING BULK ACCESS TO THIS DATA FOR COMPUTATIONAL ANALYSIS BY RESEARCHERS. THESE DELIVERABLES WILL DEVELOP EXPERTISE, PROTOTYPE INTEROPERABILITY, AND EXPAND ACCESS METHODS FOR AN INSTITUTIONALLY AND TECHNICALLY DISTRIBUTED OPEN DATA NETWORK. THE WORK ENABLES RESEARCH REPRODUCIBILITY, DISTRIBUTED PRESERVATION, AND PERPETUAL ACCESS, WITH THE GOAL OF UNITING RESEARCHERS AND DATA LIBRARIANS IN THE BROADER MISSION OF OPEN DATA ARCHIVING.

THE INTERNET ARCHIVE, PARTNERING WITH NEW YORK ART RESOURCES CONSORTIUM, WILL CREATE A COOPERATIVE, SUSTAINABLE PROGRAM THAT BRINGS TOGETHER ART LIBRARIES AND MUSEUMS ACROSS THE UNITED STATES TO SCALE CAPACITY TO COORDINATE CURATION AND ARCHIVING OF WEB-PUBLISHED PRIMARY SOURCE ART AND CULTURAL HERITAGE COLLECTIONS. THE MIGRATION OF VALUABLE PRIMARY SOURCE MATERIAL FROM ANALOG TO BORN-DIGITAL FORMATS, DISSEMINATED PRIMARILY VIA THE WEB, HAS SHIFTED METHODOLOGIES AROUND COLLECTION CREATION AND PRESERVATION FOR CULTURAL HERITAGE ORGANIZATIONS, AS WELL AS RESEARCH METHODOLOGIES UNDERTAKEN BY ART HISTORY SCHOLARS. THIS MIGRATION HAS ALSO CREATED OPPORTUNITIES FOR COLLABORATION AND SHARED CURATION SERVICES AMONG CULTURAL HERITAGE ORGANIZATIONS, ALONG WITH UNIFIED DISCOVERY, ACCESS, AND RESEARCH SUPPORT FOR THE SCHOLARLY COMMUNITY. THE PROJECT WILL EXPAND DISCOVERY AND USE OF THESE ARCHIVES THROUGH THE CREATION OF A UNIFIED ACCESS PORTAL OF CONTENT FROM MEMBER COLLECTIONS.
