thumbnail-ii-seminario-bridges

Arquivo.pt is collaborating with the Bridges “Ponte Cultural”, in CIDEHUS – Centro Interdisciplinar de História, Culturas e Sociedades of Universidade de Évora (Portugal).

Arquivo.pt’s contribution consists of providing educational content on the preservation of content published on the Internet and curating special collections related to the project’s thematic focus, such as women, immigration, and regional content from the Alentejo in the blogosphere.

The BRIDGES, project, led by Principal Investigator María Zozaya, is a work held at University of Évora funded by PRR after a Portuguese National Contest by PLANAPP-FCT on Scicence for Policy (S4P25-LT 24: BRIDGES). Work “developed under the Science4Policy 2025, an anual Science for Policy Project call, an initiative promoted by Centre for Planning and Evaluation of Public Policies in partnership with the Foundation for Science and Technology, financed by Portugal’s Recovery and Resilience Plan”.

International Seminar “Women in Focus”

On March 17 and 18, an international seminar titled “Women in Focus: From Narrative to Representation in Language, Art, Heritage, and the Digital World” was held.

Arquivo.pt participated in the online session with a presentation titled “Women’s Visibility on the Web: A Mirror of Society Since the 1990s.” The presentation demonstrated how the archive contains historical web content that is useful for studying women’s issues. Three research projects that utilized Arquivo.pt were highlighted, namely:

As part of this initiative, Arquivo.pt is compiling a thematic collection on Portuguese women who have made significant contributions to culture, art, and science. The list of URLs will be available on the open data portal Dados.gov.

II International Seminar “I have a dream”

From April 15 to 17, the 2nd International Seminar of the BRIDGES Project was held, entitled: «I have a dream. À luz da diversidade: arte, cultura, políticas públicas e mundo digital» (In the Light of Diversity – Art, Culture, Public Policy, and the Digital World).

Erik Bran Marino and Rafael Prezado, doctoral students at the University of Évora, presented Narrative Monitoring: Analysis of Conspiracy Theories on Population Replacement in the Portuguese Web Archive (1996–2021).”

On the Narrative Monitor website, one can view the results and take a quiz.

The project “Narrative Monitoring” is one of the winners of the 2025 Arquivo.pt Award, having placed third. It was developed by the CIDEHUS research team, consisting of Erik Bran Marino, Rafael Prezado, Ana Sofia Ribeiro, and Renata Vieira. It serves as an example of how Arquivo.pt is used in a research context.

The digital curator of Arquivo.pt addressed the topic “Data on Multiracial Diversity at Arquivo.pt,” demonstrating how the web has served as a space for freedom of expression and for self-affirmation or advocacy.

The work of archiving the Web and preserving its memory, in turn, requires initiative and community participation. Several international and national examples of this “activist” aspect of Web archiving were cited:

As part of this session, Arquivo.pt is compiling a thematic collection on migration and the PRCT (Comparative Analysis of Conspiracy Theories in Europe), based on the 150 search terms used in Erik Bran Marino’s research.

Thematic collections to discover in the online sessions “Café with Arquivo.pt”

by
cafe-with-arquivo-pt-squaree en

Last updated on March 31st, 2026 at 01:05 pm

“Café with Arquivo.pt” consists of short online sessions so that anyone can attend during working hours. Its aim is to raise awareness of Arquivo.pt and gather contributions from the community on topics related to web preservation.

In December 2025, a new series was launched dedicated to the thematic collections that Arquivo.pt publishes as datasets on the Dados.Gov open data platform. For example, websites related to theater, music, schools, parishes, elections, and other topics are preserved in the Arquivo.pt. We aim to highlight sets of websites whose history is preserved in the Arquivo.pt to improve their preservation.

Next session

April 15 – Replacing “Coffee with Arquivo.pt”, an online session in collaboration with the Bridges – Ponte Cultural project, CIDEHUS, Universidade de Évora, dedicated to the topic of “Immigration.”

The work Narrative Monitoring: Analysis of Conspiracy Theories on Population Replacement in the Portuguese Web Archive (1996–2021), which placed third in the 2025 Arquivo.pt Award, authored by Erik Bran Marino, Rafael Prezado, Ana Sofia Ribeiro, and Renata Vieira, will be presented.

Arquivo.pt is contributing to this session by presenting a special collection on the topic, collected this month.

Guest speakers: Erik Bran Marino, Rafael Prezado

Held sessions

24/03/2026 – Feminist activism and digital memory: archival practices and fragile data

Materials

Summary

The online sessions “Coffee with Arquivo.pt” aim to raise awareness of efforts in Portugal to preserve content published on the Internet and to encourage participation by researchers and the public. The highlight of this session is the project “FEMglocal – Glocal Feminist Movements: Interactions and Contradictions.” A theoretical framework will be presented, followed by a presentation and discussion of the results and activities carried out. For example, identifying websites and other digital channels used by feminist movements has yielded a useful dataset for studying the topic. This raises the question: how can we archive all this fragile digital content circulating on the Internet? As a contribution from Arquivo.pt, we will briefly demonstrate how to collect thousands of pieces of content published on the Web about a specific topic—for example, feminism.

“FEMglocal – Glocal Feminist Movements: Interactions and Contradictions” (PTDC/COM-CSS/4049/2021 / DOI 10.54499/PTDC/COM-CSS/4049/2021), a project funded by national funds through the FCT — Foundation for Science and Technology, I.P. With the participation of DivIntLab (CICANT). With the participation of the DigiPlArt Exploratory Project (2024.13064.PEX), also funded through the FCT.

RESAW 2025 conference had the participation of Arquivo.pt

by

Arquivo.pt was present at the 6th RESAW Conference for researchers in the Digital Humanities, Media and Communication and other areas, on the theme of ‘The Datafied Web’, which took place at the University of Siegen, Germany, from 4 to 6 June 2025.

RESAW (Research Infrastructure for the Study of Archived Web Materials) is an informal initiative that brings together researchers who use web archives in their research. RESAW’s first conference was in 2015, and it is now held every two years.

Initially, RESAW brought together European researchers, but now it brings together researchers from all over the world and has become a unique forum of its kind. In 2025, it had more than 100 participants. It brings together the best in the field of using web archives in research.

Niels Brügger, Professor of Media and Communication at Aaharus University in Denmark, has been its main driving force for 10 years.

Other leading researchers with studies on web archives are: Valerie Schafer from the University of Luxembourg, Jane Winters from the University of London, Anne Helmond from the University of Utrecht, Susan Aasman from the University of Groningen, Sophie Gebeil from Aix-Marseille University and Ian Millingan from the University of Waterloo.

This year’s theme “The Datafied Web” addressed the issue of the datification of the Web, from its beginnings in the 1990s to the present day, marked by massive data processing and the use of Artificial Intelligence.

Why would a web archive take part in an academic meeting?

Arquivo.pt has been a regular participant in RESAW since 2019, as it wants to make itself increasingly known as a service for national and international researchers.

Thanks to participation in international events such as RESAW, several publications have appeared that use and refer to Arquivo.pt. Any researcher with Internet access can search the information preserved on Arquivo.pt, use the APIs, process information or train their models.

We invite Portuguese researchers to take part in this meeting, as we have been the only Portuguese presence in several editions. We have an accessible web archive, ready to use, which is not the case in other countries. We would like to see researchers in the fields of Digital Humanities and Media and Communication in Portugal using Arquivo.pt more often and actively participating in meetings like RESAW.

Arquivo.pt’s contribution to RESAW 2025

Arquivo.pt contributed two presentations to the 2025 edition of the RESAW meeting, held at the University of Siegen. The first was about the Arquivo.pt APIs and their application in a research context, by Vasco Rato. The second was about the open datasets and lists of websites on topics and events that Arquivo.pt has prepared to help researchers start exploring archived information in greater depth.

Professor José Borbinha, eArchiving workshop, 25 February 2025, at the Instituto Superior Técnico in Lisbon (José Tribolet Room)

Arquivo.pt took part in the eArchiving Portugal workshop, which was held at the Instituto Superior Técnico on 25 February 2025, at the invitation of Professor José Borbinha, one of the first people to do web archiving in Portugal when he worked at the Biblioteca Nacional in the 90’s.

Professor José Borbinha, better than anyone, knows how to tell in the first person the small, almost epic episodes, the actions of the first ‘heroes’ that led to the creation of a web archive in Portugal. He sees Arquivo.pt as an essential service when it comes to digital preservation and safeguarding organisations’ communication heritage.

The event had a hybrid format with 50 in-person and 270 online participants and was open to all public and private organisations concerned with digital preservation and information management in any type or format. This includes the content of websites and social networks!

The heads of municipalities and local government organisations took part in the event, responding to the call from the Direção-Geral do Livro, dos Arquivos e das Bibliotecas (DGLAB). This call for people was an opportunity to show how Arquivo.pt can help preserve institutional websites and comply with Portaria n.º 112/2023, de 27 de abril.

eArchiving, a European initiative born in Portugal

The eArchiving Initiative‘s main objective is digital cultural heritage and was created at a meeting of European partners in Lisbon.

‘It was precisely in this room (the José Tribolet room at the Instituto Superior Técnico) that eArchiving began eleven years ago, on 29 May 2014,’ recalled José Borbinha (INESC-ID), host and organiser of the workshop.

The eArchiving initiative is managed on behalf of the European Commission by the E-ARK Consortium, which includes Portuguese partners KEEP Solutions LDA and INESC-ID. The consortium also includes the AIT Austrian Institute of Technology GmbH, the lead partner, and the DLM Forum MTÜ.

Janet Anderson, manager of eArchiving, showed the progress made in eleven years in the field of digital preservation. The projects funded by the European Union within the consortium have resulted in the development of specifications, software, training and knowledge about digital preservation.

This was followed by a presentation of contributions to digital preservation in Portugal: DGLAB, by Pedro Penteado, Centro Hospitalar São João, by Fernanda Gonçalves, Ministério da Justiça, by Alexandra Lourenço and Cristina Soares, Arquivo.pt, by digital curator Ricardo Basílio.

Finnaly, Miguel Ferreira spoke on behalf of DLM Forum MTÜ , a community in which KEEP Solutions LDA participates by developing software. Taking a more technical approach, he showed how the metadata in the E-Ark packaging specifications is structured to fulfil the requirements of digital preservation.

How to use Arquivo.pt to preserve institutional websites

Apresentação do Arquivo.pt no Workshop eArchiving

Digital preservation requires collaboration, both internally and externally between organisations, and this workshop served that purpose: sharing good practices, disseminating tools and services and connecting people.

Arquivo.pt highlighted three services from its catalogue for preserving content published on the web:

Arquivo.pt services can be used, for example, by municipalities to preserve content published on institutional websites.

Arquivo.pt training, such as webinars or face-to-face sessions, are useful for empowering organisations to take care of institutional content, including social media content that requires an alternative strategy.

Paralympic Games. Miguel Monteiro, gold medallist, returns to Lisbon (News on the RTP website, 2 September, selected for international collection)

Arquivo.pt has contributed to the international collection of web pages on the Summer Olympics Games taking place in Paris from 26 July to 11 August 2024 and is doing the same for the Summer Paralympics taking place from 28 August to 8 September.

The initiative to create the “2024 Summer Olympics/Paralympics IIPC CDG” collection is the responsibility of the International Internet Preservation Consortium (IIPC), the world’s leading organisation in the field of Internet preservation, through its Content Development Working Group.

The IIPC’s collaborative collections aim to promote the creation of thematic collections and collections based on international events. The web pages are recorded and then made available on the Archive-it service.

The pages of this collection will also be available on Arquivo.pt for those who want to carry out studies on sport and Olympism.

How the pages about Portuguese athletes were selected

At the Olympic Games 73 athletes represented Portugal in 15 sports, and at the Paralympic Games 27 athletes in 10 sports.

The criterion for selecting pages for the international collection was news about the athletes. For each athlete, pages were selected about their expectations before the games, their performance in the competition and their comments during and after the competition.

Some athletes have more news selected than others, and the same goes for the sites from which the news comes. The selection of pages was not limited to the first results presented by the search engine. We looked for a variety of channels and news from regional and local sites, some from the region or city where the athletes came from.

More than 500 pages to remember the Portuguese presence in Paris

The contribution of Arquivo.pt, as you can see in the table, already has more than 500 web pages.

Higher education library mobility program brings professionals to Arquivo.pt

by
FCCN_A Minha Biblioteca_24 maio 2024_2

Arquivo.pt operado pela FCCN FCT e localizado no Campus do LNEC

Arquivo.pt headquarters, operated by FCCN FCT, in Lisbon.

On May 24, the FCCN welcomed professionals from Higher Education Libraries (HEL) for the first time as part of the program promoted by the Higher Education Libraries Working Group (GT-BES) of the Portuguese Association of Librarians, Archivists, Documentalists and Information Professionals (BAD), My library is your library.

This is a mobility program that aims to carry out short-term visits with a view to exchanging experiences and hands-on contact with good practices, fostering collaboration and knowledge of Portuguese HEIs among professionals in the field.

Advanced services for knowledge

In this first edition of the program at FCCN, the participating colleagues (3 professionals from the University of Lisbon and 1 from the Catholic University of Porto) were offered a tour of the digital support services for higher education institutions operated by FCCN-FCT

Some services are familiar to information professionals, such as B-On and RCAAP. Others are back-office services and therefore less visible, but they are essential for higher education institutions. For example, Eduroam, which guarantees access to the Internet, RCTSaai for authentication or RCTS CERT for responding to security incidents.

Highlights include the Arquivo.pt and NAU services

The day highlighted Arquivo.pt and the NAU Platform, two services in the field of knowledge that are available to higher education institutions and also to society.

The Arquivo.pt team showed the backoffice of this Internet preservation service in Portugal and carried out a practical exercise in recording and integrating content into the web archive.

The NAU Platform is a platform for MOOCs (Massive Open Online Courses) created with the aim of democratizing knowledge, promoting digital literacy, enabling education and training for broad communities of users, particularly the Portuguese and Lusophone population.

More recently, with its integration into the North American platform edx.org, it has also been made available to all potential Portuguese-speaking trainees around the world. Participants in the program were shown how to build a MOOC course on the edx platform.

The program also included a visit to the Data Center and the professional television studio at the FCCN.

Week job shadowing at the Arquivo.pt from Prague to Lisbon

by
FCCN TV studio

By: Marie Haškovcová and Luboš Svoboda, Webarchiv, National Library of the Czech Republic, May 13th to 17th, 2024.

A visit within the EU Erasmus+ programme

Thanks to the EU Erasmus+ programme, focused on adult education – staff mobility, we were able to spend a week job shadowing at the Portuguese web archive Arquivo.pt and compare the strategies of the Czech web archive – Webarchiv with the approaches of our Portuguese colleagues.

In both cases, these are archives focused on national (Czech and Portuguese) content on the Internet.

The Arquivo.pt

While the Czech web archive is part of the National Library of the Czech Republic, the Portuguese archive (Arquivo.pt) is part of the FCCN, under the FCT – Foundation for Science and Technology, which aims to contribute to the development of science, technology and knowledge.

FCT provides IT services to the Portuguese higher education and research system, as well as high-speed internet connectivity. The institutional background of both archives is also reflected in the specifics of their concepts.

The visit included a presentation of the team and the campus and departmental spaces, a presentation of the activities of both archives and a discussion of the different aspects of our work – technical and curatorial tools, technologies and processes, the legislative environment and ethical issues, data storage, some services, research activities, perspectives and future plans.

The Czech web archive

The Czech web archive was founded in 2000, the oldest archival copies date back to 2001 and currently has more than 580 TB of data. Like Arquivo.pt, it harvests content on a national domain based on a list of url addresses obtained from its provider. It supplements these so-called comperhensive harvests with thematic and selective harvests in its acquisition strategy.

Topic collections relate to a specific topic or event, can be one-off or continuously built, and combine manually selected and automated scraped resources. Selective ones are intended for long-term harvesting, have detailed cataloging records that are part of the Czech national bibliography and are licensed – archival copies are therefore freely available through the catalogue.

From the Webarchive’s research activities, we presented our project aimed at detecting so-called dead webs through the Extinct Websites application and creating a database to serve as a basis for monitoring broader changes in the Czech web, and the WACloud project aimed at extracting big data from the web archive.

Exchanging knowledge and experience

Among the Portuguese projects we were interested in, for example, CitationSaver, and we also discussed the Memorial project, the harvesting of the Portuguese Wikipedia, and the activities of the Portuguese archive related to education in web archiving (training courses).

The meeting was enriched by the discussion of specific topic collections.

  • The Czech net art collection documents digital art and its transformation in the online space, providing a unique art historical perspective.
  • Another important collection is the Social networks of Members of Parliament of the Czech Republic 2021-2025 collection, which preserves the online communications and interactions of Czech MPs, invaluable for the study of political marketing and public political life.
  • The GitHub collection archives important repositories from this popular developer platform, preserving key domestic software projects and their code for future generations.
  • Finally, the Crypto, NFT, Blockchain, Web3, Metaverse collection charts the rise and impact of technology in the digital asset space. These collections are key resources for research and analysis of digital culture, policy, and technology, and the discussion of these collections at web archivist meetings contributes to the further development of archival methods and technological innovation.

We focused on exchanging knowledge and experience in seeds acquisition, workflow optimization and sharing technical tips and tricks.

Sharing best practices

We discussed best practices for identifying and collecting key web resources, a critical step in ensuring a comprehensive and representative archive. We shared various strategies for automating and streamlining workflows, including the use of web scraping tools and advanced content filtering.

Technical discussions included solutions to common problems such as harvesting dynamic web pages and overcoming access restrictions. The meeting provided a valuable platform for sharing innovative methods and fostering collaboration among experts, furthering the development of effective and sustainable digital archiving.

Commemoration of the 50th anniversary of April 25 – the Portuguese revolution of 1974

by
50anos25abril-ArquivoPT-IG-Feed-2

Arquivo.pt joined the celebrations of the 50th anniversary of April 25, the Portuguese Revolution of 1974, as part of the initiatives promoted by the Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologia (FCT) in partnership with the Estrutura de Missão – Comissão Comemorativa 50 anos 25 de Abril.

The initiatives were as follows: a journey through time, a special collection on the theme “Abril 25”, a presentation at the “50 years of April International Congress” and the inclusion of a special mention in the 2025 edition of the Arquivo.pt Award.

Memories of April 25 on the Internet exhibition

The exhibition Memories of April 25 on the Internet presents a selection of web pages about the celebrations of April 25 in various regions of the country, since the beginning of the web in the 1990s.

The criteria for choosing the pages for the exhibition were as follows:

  • Pages relating to the April 25 commemorations;
  • Pages found on Arquivo.pt on dates close to the anniversary each year;
  • Diversity to include different areas of the country;
  • Popular demonstrations and official ceremonies.

A historical memory without web archives is incomplete. The aim of this journey through time is to invite citizens to travel back in time, browsing through old web pages and reliving recent episodes in our life as a democracy.

See the exhibiton: arquivo.pt/50anos25abril

Special collection on April 25 – the Portuguese Revolution of 1974

To mark the anniversary, Arquivo.pt carried out a special collection on the topic of “April 25” and made the results available in an open dataset, published on the Dados.gov portal.

The dataset contains a list of keywords put into a search engine in order to obtain results on the topic of “April 25”. The search considered names of people, places, political, social and cultural aspects, as well as words associated with the event.

The searches were carried out on March 22, 2024 using the Bing Search API, an automatic search service that returns results according to the relevance criteria of the Bing service itself and others configured by us.

A total of 12,650 unique web page addresses were obtained. It is hoped that the recording of these pages will be useful for the organizations that produced this content, for researchers who want to study our history and for citizens who cultivate a sense of memory and democracy.

Participation in the 50 years of April International Congress

João Gomes, Director of Advanced Services, FCCN-FCT presenting the Arquivo.pt Memorial service at the 50 years of April International Congress

On May 2, 2024, João Gomes, Director of Advanced Services at the FCCN Scientific Computing Unit of the Foundation for Science and Technology I.P., presented Arquivo.pt to the participants of the 50 years of April International Congress, as a distinctive service, open to citizens and useful for organizations.

This event, organized by the Estrutura de Missão – Comissão Comemorativa 50 anos 25 de Abril and the University of Lisbon, included a presentation of two FCT services for citizens: Arquivo.pt and NAU’s massive online open courses.

Arquivo.pt is a web preservation service available to all citizens who want to search for old content published on the web.

Using Arquivo.pt contributes to a better understanding of our history. It also provides useful services for cybersecurity, such as the Arquivo.pt Memorial, which is able to maintain institutions’ old websites, preventing attacks and saving them resources.

Special mention for “April 25 and Democracy” at the Arquivo.pt Awards 2025

The Arquivo.pt Award is held annually and honors works that use Arquivo.pt.

In 2025, as part of the celebrations for the 50th anniversary of April 25, a special mention will be made of work on the theme “April 25 and Democracy”.

We therefore challenge researchers and interested citizens to create innovative works using Arquivo.pt.

jornadas-fccn-2024-funchal-thumb

Last updated on November 27th, 2024 at 01:43 pm

The Arquivo.pt team was in Funchal between April 15 and 19, 2024, and presented two different sessions on web preservation. The first took place during the Jornadas FCCN 2024 and the second was a workshop, after the event had ended, at the headquarters of the Regional Agency for the Development of Research, Technology and Innovation (ARDITI).

Arquivo.pt at Jornadas FCCN 2024

The session held during the Jornadas FCCN 2024 was entitled “Arquivo.pt at the service of culture” and aimed to highlight two of Arquivo.pt’s collaborations in the field of culture and knowledge, namely with Wikipedia Portugal and the Virtual Museum of Tourism (MUVITUR).

At the FCCN Zapping session, Arquivo.pt presented the Arquivo404 service, which allows websites to offer historical content instead of the negative “Page not found”.

Workshop with ARDITI

The post-Day Workshop, promoted by ARDITI, was open to regional institutions and citizens in general. It was entitled “Arquivo.pt and the preservation of Internet memory”.

The contents were structured according to the training program run by Arquivo.pt and preceded by a framework between the other services of the FCCN – FCCN – Computação Científica da FCT.

Just as important as the content was the dialog that was established during the sessions between the participants and the Arquivo.pt team to clarify doubts or ask questions.

Web preservation is increasingly important for organizations that want to preserve part of their institutional memory and develop security policies.

ARDITI gave an important signal about preserving the web memory of Madeiran institutions by hosting and promoting the Arquivo.pt training sessions.

If you want to promote the preservation of web content in your organization, check out the Arquivo.pt training and contact us.
