The DPC Web Archiving and Preservation Task Force was established at the start of 2010 It identifies, examines and reviews current policy in web archiving and preservation, provides a mutually supportive environment for continued policy development for members and a mechanism through which non-members can engage with web archiving policy. In this way the Task Force will help to ensure that our generation can carve an appropriate legacy from the complexity and volatility of the web.

 In preparation for a meeting to review collecting policies for web archiving, the members have recently completed an extensive survey of current and emerging collecting policies for web content.  The next meeting - on Wednesday - will use this as a basis for discussion and planning. The survey and subsequent recommendations will be published in due course, but members are invited to inspect a draft of the survey online at the DPC website (login required):
