For this blog post, I summarized @bitarchivist.net, @wilkinson.graphics, and @ilya.webrecorder.net's paper, “High Fidelity Web Archiving of News Sites and New Media with Browsertrix.” @webscidl.bsky.social ws-dl.blogspot.com/2026/02/2026...

In "Detecting and reconstructing trustworthy edit histories using web archives", I talk about different markers of edit history on webpages and how web archives can be used to verify or refute them. ws-dl.blogspot.com/2026/02/2026... @webscidl.bsky.social

Travis Reid @treid803.bsky.social @webscidl.bsky.social summarizes Brenda Reyes Ayala's @brendareyesayala.bsky.social 2025 paper: "Towards a better QA process: Automatic detection of quality problems in archived websites using visual comparisons" ws-dl.blogspot.com/2026/01/2026...

In this blog post, I summarized Goel et al.’s "Jawa: Web Archival in the Era of JavaScript". They identified sources of non-determinism that cause replay problems and created a crawler that removes non-deterministic code. #WebArchiveWednesday @webscidl.bsky.social ws-dl.blogspot.com/2025/06/2025...

I appreciate the chance to present "A Vision for Trustworthy Web Archiving" at the DPC Members Forum and Networking Event - Americas meeting at Vanderbilt University. bit.ly/Nelson-DPC2025

One of the goals for the Saving Ads project was to create a dataset of advertisements from the live web. This blog post describes our process for creating this dataset: ws-dl.blogspot.com/2025/02/2025... #WebArchiveWednesday @webscidl.bsky.social (1/7)

Our new tech report (arxiv.org/abs/2502.01525): "Archiving and Replaying Current Web Advertisements…" describes the archiving and replay problems we encountered while creating a dataset of 279 archived ads. #WebArchiveWednesday @webscidl.bsky.social @machawk1 @phonedudemln @weiglemc (1/10)
