IFLA News Media & International Internet Preservation Consortium (IIPC) teamed up in 2024 to host workshops on archiving news media. These workshops are offered bi-monthly and continue through 2025. As most news is now published online, there is a growing interest in understanding the current best practices in web archiving. Through presentations and informal discussions, the workshops showcase diverse organizational approaches to archiving news media, including audiovisual content and social media, highlight key challenges, explore innovative solutions, and compare how organizations of varying sizes tackle this topic and learn from their collective experiences.
Upcoming workshop: June 10, 2025.
