Four members of the Arquivo.pt team were in Oslo, Norway, to take part in the General Assembly of the International Internet Preservation Consortium and the Web Archiving Conference, from 8 to 15 April 2025.
The National Library of Norway hosted this international event, the largest in the field of Internet preservation. IIPC WAC 2025 was an exceptional opportunity to share knowledge and strengthen collaboration between web archives.
The first day, 8 April, was dedicated to the General Assembly, exclusively for members of the consortium, and to the working groups in which Arquivo.pt plays an active role. The Content Development Working Group is dedicated to the creation of thematic collections and has the participation of Arquivo.pt in the ‘Street Art’ collection. The Training Working Group creates training content and training actions, such as IIPC webinars and face-to-face workshops.
The Web Archiving Conference was held on 9 and 10 April, an event open to all entities and initiatives related to web preservation and archiving.
Arquivo.pt’s contribution
Arquivo.pt presented its services and initiatives for interacting with the community. The concern with access to content, both for researchers and for citizens in general, is an aspect that is highly appreciated by the IIPC community.
