Speaker:
Helen Hockx-Yu is Head of Web Archiving at the British Library. She leads the British Library's web archiving operations and services.

Summary:
The British Library has been archiving UK web sites since 2004, aiming to understand the challenges involved and to build the capability to preserve the UK's digital heritage for future generations. This work has been significantly intensified since 6 April 2013, when the Non-print Legal Deposit Regulations were put in place by the UK government. This legal framework enables the UK Legal Deposit Libraries to collect digital publications as they have done with printed publications such as books and journals, in the most cost-effective and comprehensive way. The British Library undertakes periodic crawls of the UK web in its entirety on behalf of the five other Legal Deposit Libraries. This talk will give an overview of the end-to-end web archiving process, involving crawling, indexing, storing and providing access to 4-5 million UK websites. It will also touch upon the key technical, legal and business challenges.

There will be a full buffet with wine after the event and an opportunity for informal chat and networking.

Cancellation Policy
In the event of cancellation the delegates will be told well in advance.

BCS reserve the right to cancel any event. BCS is not responsible for hotel or travel costs.
