#IIPCWAC25 Can we use AI + Web Archives to help departments retrieve their lost organisational memories?
NOPE.
This presentation from #iipcwac25 was really good! There will always be a possibility of a sad pdf at the party! #webarchiving
Fantastic keynote to end #iipcwac25 highlighting all the research that is possible to do when using digital data.
Håvard: "We are trying to get a better understanding of the broader trends and patterns that are occurring online. We don't look at individuals when we run our analysis." They look to Quantifying Hate, minority hate, online polarization, and election integrity. #iipcWAC25
In the #iipcWAC25 closing keynote, Ida Haugen-Poljac & Håvard Lundberg discuss their focus on digital data at scale, citing Norwegian politicians posting updates on Facebook, "Each of in our daily lives leave little traces of ourselves online."
From the rare books exhibit on the ground floor, a fabulous 11th century Latin codex (on parchment) of the Psalms of David. Considered the oldest book in Norway! Inscribed on the 13th century wooden back cover: "Atakvikne church owns me". Come see the collection! #iipcwac2025 / #iipcwac25
In Harsha Madhyastha's (from @usc.edu ) #iipcWAC25 talk, he describes how to do quality assurance at scale when archiving lots of pages that contain lots of JavaScript. His team looked to identify cause of erroneous rewrites and has worked w/ the @webrecorder.net team to fix it.
László Tóth discusses his tool, warc-safe, at #iipcWAC25 for scanning WARC files for NSFW content: It takes a WARC, extracts recs, scans w/ ClamAV, and checks for NSFW content like nudity and pornographic content. It uses an AI that scans each image file. #webarchiving

basilesimon.bsky.social goes on in his #iipcWAC25 presentation to describe methods toward verifiability for evidentiary use. WACZ's cryptographic aspects help to facilitate this. #webarchiving
Basile Simon (basilesimon.bsky.social) starts off the "Handling What You Captured" session at #iipcWAC25 with "So You've Got a WACZ: How Archives Become Verifiable Evidence". He discusses three projects where open source information have informed real-world, investigate processes.
Advocacy for collecting the public's social media content. National Library of Singapore used a variety of methods to market and publicise this work. Including high profile advocates. #iipcwac25
Presentation with PowerPoint slide. "Developing Social Media Archiving Guidelines at the National Archives of the Netherlands"
#iipcwac25 has a whole session on curating social media with presentation on best practices.
The National Archive of the Netherlands presents their amazing work on creating guidelines on techniques and accounting for significant properties of the material. 🙌
Ben Els from Luxembourg web archive discussing archiving social media of gov officials. Get them to export their own data. Motivation is everything!! #iipcwac25
Agreed! It would have been great to have social handles to associate to presenters to further publicize their work #iipcWAC25 /cc @netpreserve.bsky.social
@hopfgartner.bsky.social! My presentation was unfortunately at a parallel session at Cui's but great to see your work at #iipcWAC25
What does good enough look like in reducing environmental impact of web archives? Engaging presentation by @jfwinters.bsky.social and Jake Bickford at #iipcwac25
Sustainable websites. Further to their work on 42 tips to diminish the co2 impact of websites, colleagues from the Dutch digital heritage network also look to sustainable web archiving. #iipcwac25
