Administrative Information
Conditions Governing Use
Because of the nature of this collection, copyright status varies across the materials. Copyright is assumed to be held by the original creators of the content. The University may grant permission to publish or reproduce intellectual property it owns in the name of The Rector and Visitors of the University of Virginia.
Conditions Governing Access
The materials in this collection have no access restrictions.
Immediate Source of Acquisition
Archivists at the University of Virginia's Law Library capture and archive the website annually.
Appraisal
The websites archived in this collection are not identical copies of the original sites. Instead, they are close representations shaped by the appraisal decisions of archivists.
Archivists strive to capture copies of the School of Law website that are identical to the originals. However, to overcome technological limitations and to allow for sustainable preservation, archivists make appraisal decisions that result in the creation of representative copies that function and look different from the originals. For example, when the website is too large to crawl and preserve as a single resource, archivists divide it into facets and crawl each part separately.
Accruals
The University of Virginia Law Library expects to add materials to this collection.
Scope and Contents
This collection contains copies of the University of Virginia School of Law's public website. On this site, the School shares content that documents its work and the experiences of its students, faculty, staff, and alums. This includes statistics, policies, program descriptions, summaries of services, links to affiliated organizations, news articles, videos, directories, marketing materials, short histories, and published research. While the website potentially reaches a broad audience, much of it is designed especially for the Law School's students, faculty, staff, and alums. Other content markets the School to applicants, donors, and employers.
Subjects and Indexing Terms
- Law schools -- United States
- University of Virginia. School of Law
Container List
In 2004, an unknown person downloaded the files that comprised the School of Law webpage and burned them to an optical disk. The optical disk was found in the Law Library's technical services room in 2023 and added to the RG-32-501 collection.
This version of the School of Law's website documents the public face of the School and the following elements of its work: admissions, academics, alums, giving, career services, library services, student life, and faculty research. Also, the website includes relevant directories and news articles.
The University of Virginia Law Library made 40 crawls of the School of Law website. The files resulting from each crawl contain content representing a significant facet of the website. These facets include admissions, academics, research, alum services, library services, student life, faculty profiles, giving and fundraising, academic centers, and class profiles. Together, these resources richly document the School of Law's work and its public face.
Archivists decided to divide the capture of the School of Law website into 40 crawls because they determined that the site was too large to capture in one crawl. As much as possible, they tried to break the site into self-contained facets that reflected the creator's divisions. Ultimately, however, archivists were responsible for defining the facets and marking the boundaries between different kinds of content. Their appraisal decisions are recorded in text configuration files that are preserved with the web archive files.
The following resources published on the School of Law website in Spring 2023 were not included in this collection: staff and faculty directories, the Scholarship repository, the news archives, the media archive, library exhibits, and library databases. Archivists crawled much of this content, but deposited it in other collections to facilitate sustainable access and preservation.
Archivists at the Arthur J. Morris Law Library crawled the School of Law's website between March 2023 and June 2023 using the Browsertrix crawler and the ArchiveWeb.page application.

In October 2023, Dan Cavanaugh, an archivist at the University of Virginia Law Library, created the items in this file. The items were the product of scheduled web crawls of the University of Virginia School of Law website. That same month, Cavanaugh transferred the files to the Law Library's archival repository.
Archivists decided to divide the capture of the School of Law website into 49 crawls because they determined that the content was too large to capture in one crawl. As much as possible, they tried to break the site into self-contained facets that reflected the creator's divisions. Ultimately, however, archivists were responsible for defining the facets and marking the boundaries between different kinds of content. Their appraisal decisions are recorded in text configuration files that are preserved with the web archive files.
The following resources published on the School of Law website in Fall 2023 were not included in this collection: directories, the scholarship repository, alumni pages, reunion pages, podcasts, the news archives, the media archive, library exhibits, and library databases.
This file consists of wacz and associated metadata files that the Law Library produced while crawling the University of Virginia School of Law website.
