Our digital preservation projects
Read about some of the projects that the Digital Preservation and Data Capability, at the National Library, are working on.
Web Archive Discovery Platform Pilot
The National Library started a web archive discovery platform pilot project in 2021. The aim of the pilot project is to test a new interface for searching the text of National Library’s web archives.
In the current pilot phase, websites of two collections will be full-text searchable through the portal to users.
The pilot will also test the acceptability and feasibility of a larger-scale project to implement a web archive discovery platform for the Library’s entire web archive collection.
Web Curator Tool Development
The Library is collaborating with the National Library of the Netherlands to enhance the Web Curator Tool (WCT). The WCT is used in the Web Archiving programmes of both institutions.
In December 2018, the Web Curator Tool 2.0 was released. The project team (from NLNZ and KBNL) is now working on version 3.0 with the aim to ensure that WCT can keep up-to-date with the Web and social mediacrawling techniques. The team is also working to help other organisations using WCT to upgrade to the latest version (WCT 2.x).
