Every community has its own unique culture and Community Webs members have worked to document that culture through web archiving. Ash Parker of Hancock County Library System (HCLS) in Mississippi described preserving an important local tradition by saying, “One of HLCS’s first collecting priorities was preserving web content about one of the local traditions that makes the Mississippi Gulf Coast unique – Mardi Gras. Hancock County is about an hour away from iconic New Orleans.
Local residents, some of whom are themselves transplants from New Orleans, are serious about their Carnival traditions. We currently capture the websites of some of our main Krewes, groups that spend most of the year planning parades and balls during Carnival season, and curate local news articles capturing the history of these treasured events. We hope to continue preserving this local tradition for future generations through digitizing physical items and crawling born-digital content on the Internet. As this collection grows, it will be a searchable trove of information and images that captures this special side of the Gulf Coast.”
Other program members have found that reaching out to local website creators about preserving their online content has led to opportunities for collaboration and community-building. “Reaching out to site owners to inform them of our web archiving has, of course, made it possible to ensure that their even when their project or ability to pay for web hosting ends, but it has also been a wonderful opportunity to start conversations and forge new connections: We see you. We believe that your work has enduring value.
We are here to help it endure,” said Carissa Pfeiffer of Buncombe County Libraries in North Carolina. “So far, we have saved at least one blog and one genealogy resource which had been planned for deletion by their respective owners, alongside websites whose contents reveal, for instance, public efforts to hold local government accountable for reparations efforts.”
