2.522 Gigabytes2024-05-13Scope and Contents
This file consists of wacz and associated metadata files that the Law Library produced while crawling the Virginia Law Weekly website on May 13, 2024. On this date, the website contained content that the Virginia Law Weekly published between November 2016 and April 2024.
Immediate Source of AcquisitionIn May 2024, 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 Virginia Law Weekly website. That same month, Cavanaugh transferred the files to the Law Library's archival repository.
AppraisalThe materials in this file initially existed as web pages. Archivists strive to capture online resources and preserve them in a state close to how they would have appeared to users when they were live. However, to overcome technological limitations and to allow for sustainable preservation, archivists often made appraisal decisions that resulted in archived websites that function and look different from the originals.
