Selective Web Archiving at the NZ National Library

New Zealand government librarians detail their experience in selective web archiving with the open source Web Curator software in the article A Year of Selective Web Archiving with the Web Curator of the National Library of New Zealand in the May/June 2008 issue of D-Lib Magazine. The abstract:

The Web Curator Tool is an open-source tool for managing selective web archiving developed as a joint project between the National Library of New Zealand and the British Library. It has now been in everyday use at the National Library of New Zealand since January 2007. This article describes our first year of selective web archiving with the new tool. The National Library of New Zealand is reaping the benefits of the Web Curator Tool development and will continue our selective harvesting program with the Web Curator Tool for the foreseeable future.
