On December 2, 2020, National Széchényi Library (NSZL) will host a professional day on web archiving for the fourth time. Due to the pandemic situation, the professional day can be followed by those interested on the Internet through the Teams application.
The main topic of this year's conference is the possibility of division of labor between institutions, a good example of which was provided by the tender announced in 2019 within the framework of the Public Collection Digitization Strategy [2] (KDS) that ended this spring. As part of this, the NSZL Web Archive [3] collaborated with eleven county-level city libraries in collecting the addresses of important websites in their regions. It is planned that in the future this common work will cover other sub-tasks (for example, quality control, provision of metadata), and additional public collections might also be involved. It is also a major goal to disseminate knowledge related to the preservation of the web in educational and scientific institutions, as the variability and density of the Internet resources referenced in the curriculum and in special literature tend to cause more and more problems.
In addition to the above, those interested in the topic can get a glimpse of the development of NSZL Web Archive in 2020, results achieved and technical difficulties encountered, as well as of the evolving organizational, infrastructural and legal framework. During the afternoon workshop, they will learn about software that can be used to create smaller local web archives.
