On the 23rd February 2017, the FCCN unit of the FCT, in Lisbon, responsible for Arquivo.pt, hosted a free training session for bloggers in the areas of technology, lifestyle and fashion. Under the motto of working to leave their blogs in the history of the Portuguese Web, this set of bloggers joined the research infrastructure Arquivo.pt attending sessions on digital preservation techniques

Training agenda

• Automatic access to Arquivo.pt (APIs)

Do not miss the Zapping of other services at your service!

We also highlight the “Zapping session of FCCN projects and services” (April 20, 9:30). During just 1 hour anyone can get to know all the services offered by the FCCN, free or at no cost to the academic community.

Registration is free and includes social events. However, the number of registrations is limited and we accept submissions in order of submission. The main objective of Jornadas FCCN is to interact with the local communities.

The new version named PyCDX introduces significant improvements in the replay quality of the preserved pages.

These improvements resulted from the adoption of PyWb technology developed by Ilya Kreymer.

The replay of the preserved pages is now more comprehensive, with the loading of additional images, PDF, CSS, and other Web content that previously were not reproduced.

The new version named Hercules presents design improvements, specially in the user interface for the replay of preserved Web pages, such as:

• Minimize and Maximize options for the toolbar by clicking in the upper right corner, so that users can visualize the preserved Web page in full screen;

• New ‘Complete the page’ function, that attempts to obtain missing elements on the preserved page (e.g. images) from external Web archives using the Memento Time Travel reconstruct service;
• Solved usability issues detected in the previous version, such as start using larger function icons with higher contrast to increase their visibility.
