- Web Archiving for the Rest of Us: How to Collect and Manage Websites Using Free and Easy Software Dunn, Katharine Szydlowski, Nick Computer Software Information Sources Internet Preservation Archives Web Sites Libraries Computers Information Technology Library Science Large-scale projects such as the Internet Archive (www.archive.org) send out crawlers to gather snapshots of much of the web.
