Web Archiving Life Cycle Model
The Web Archiving Lifecycle Model is an attempt to incorporate the technological and programmatic arms of web archiving into a framework that will be relevant to any organization seeking to archive content from the web. Archive-It, the leading service in the library and archive community, developed the model based on its work with memory institutions around the world.
