Finding web archives

The web as a primary source

“The Internet is the largest and fastest-growing contemporary cultural text. It captures social actions and interactions. It provides more up-to-date information about the world than any traditional media source. Web resources are unique digital documentary heritage that may not be duplicated in any other medium. This makes digital preservation of web resources via web archiving essential to the continuity of the nation’s memory, culture, and history” (Library and Archives Canada).
