Archiving Web-Published Materials:
A Needs Assessment of Librarians, Researchers, and Content Providers

Abstract
The Web-at-Risk project is a digital preservation project funded by the Library of
Congress as part of the National Digital Information Infrastructure and Preservation Program.
The project is developing a web archiving service to enable curators to build, store, and manage
archived collections of web-published materials captured largely from US federal and state
government agency web sites. In 2005 the project's 22 curators, as well as librarians and
archivists working primarily in academic libraries (N=43), university researchers (N=7), and
content providers (N=7) participated in a study to identify their needs in relation to web
archiving. This paper summarizes the issues and challenges these groups face and discusses the
need for collaborations among libraries and government entities for preserving web-published
materials.
