A curated list of resources, tools, and services for web archiving, from acquisition and replay to analysis and community.
What is Awesome Web Archiving?
Awesome Web Archiving is a curated "awesome list" dedicated to resources for web archiving—the practice of collecting and preserving web content for future access. It aggregates tools, software, documentation, community channels, and data sources to help individuals and institutions capture, replay, and analyze archived web materials. The list covers the entire lifecycle from acquisition with crawlers to replay and search systems.
Web archivists, digital preservationists, researchers, librarians, and developers working on or with web archives. It's also valuable for anyone needing to understand or implement web archiving workflows, including those in cultural heritage institutions or data-intensive research fields.
It provides a single, community-vetted entry point to the fragmented web archiving ecosystem, saving significant time in discovering reliable tools and best practices. Unlike generic tool lists, it focuses specifically on preservation, includes both open-source and commercial options, and links to active communities for support.
