This paper reviews current copyright barriers for museums in Australia and examines how international examples offer potential models and ways forward. The authors conclude that recent copyright modernisation reviews offer the museum sector an opportunity to restructure its strategies.

Headquartered in San Francisco, the museum experimented with the rise of new digital technologies and evolved into a virtual museum with global outreach. Through innovative online approaches, they actively engaged communities around the world and gathered perspectives from a wide spectrum of visitors, whose voices were included in the exhibition narratives. In order to safeguard the museum’s legacy and its groundbreaking digital exhibitions, The Feminist Institute in New York launched a digital preservation initiative, working closely with the Global Fund for Women, a non-profit foundation that merged with the International Museum of Women in 2014. On July 31, 2023, we conducted an interview with Marie Williams Chant, Director of Archives and Special Projects, to delve into the museum’s historical significance. We also discussed their archival strategies and procedures, along with its potential impact on the museum’s legacies.Keywords: Web archivingonline museumsvirtual exhibitionsthe Feminist InstituteInternational Museum of Women AcknowledgementsWe like to thank Marie Williams Chant for her valuable insights and collaboration.Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the authors.Notes1 The interview has been edited for improved readability and accuracy.2 The “California Woman Suffrage 1870-1911” exhibition opened in 1986 and was dedicated to women’s voting rights campaigns in California. The first public program of the International Museum of Women was dedicated to Sarah Wallis, pioneer of the Suffrage movement and the first President of the California Woman Suffrage Educational Association.3 “Imagining Ourselves: A Global Generation of Women” launched in 2006 was an award-winning exhibition online exhibition addressing the question What defines your generation of women? and featuring public submitted content from more than 100 countries globally.4 In addition, Social media also played a role developing collaborative exhibitions. The participants of Young Women Speaking the Economy used Facebook and other social media tools as a part of the exhibition’s development.5 ‘Mama: Motherhood around the globe’ launched in 2012 was an online exhibition dedicated to motherhood and maternal health.6 “IGNITE: Women fueling science & technology” in 2014 was a global media project explored the role of women in scientific and technological innovation.

Understanding how these collections are created and curated is of increasing concern and recent web archives scholarship has studied how the artefacts stored in archives represent specific curatorial choices and collecting practices. This paper takes a novel approach in studying web archiving practice, by focusing on the challenges encountered in archival web crawling and what they reveal about the web itself. Inspired by foundational work in infrastructure studies, infrastructural inversion is applied to study how crawler interactions surface otherwise invisible, background or taken-for-granted aspects of the web. This framework is applied to study three examples selected from interviews and ethnographic fieldwork observations of web archiving practices at the Danish Royal Library, with findings demonstrating how the challenges of archival crawling illuminate the web’s varied actors, as well as their changing relationships, power differentials and politics. Ultimately, analysis through infrastructural inversion reveals how collection via crawling positions archives as active participants in web infrastructure, both shaping and shaped by the needs and motivations of other web actors.Keywords: Web archivesweb crawlerscrawler trapsinfrastructural inversioninfrastructure studiessocio-technical systems AcknowledgementsMany thanks to all the participants at the Netarchive for their time, to Zoe LeBlanc, Katie Mackinnon and Karen Wickett for their feedback on an early draft of this article, and to the anonymous reviewers for their helpful comments and suggestions throughout the review process.Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author.Notes1 For a more thorough account of the Netarchive’s processes and collecting history, see Schostag and Fønss-Jørgensen (Citation2012), and Laursen and & Møldrup-Dalum (Citation2017).2 An average of two to three event harvests are conducted each year, including both predictable events like regional and national elections, national celebrations or sporting events, as well as unpredictable events such as the financial crisis of 2008, the swine flu outbreak in 2009, a national teacher lockout in 2013, and terrorist attacks in Copenhagen in 2015.3 See W3C’s historic document on HTTP status codes (https://www.w3.org/Protocols/http/HTRESP.html) and RFC 1945 HTTP/1.0 (https://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc1945.txt).4 IANA maintains a registry of current codes and their descriptions https://www.iana.org/assignments/http-status-codes/http-status-codes.xhtml5 CAPTCHA stands for “Completely Automated Public Turing test to tell Computers and Humans Apart,” and Justie (Citation2021) presents an in-depth history of various CAPTCHA technologies and their implementation.Additional informationFundingSocial Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada, Canada Graduate Sc","PeriodicalId":52252,"journal":{"name":"Internet Histories","volume":"37 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135308306","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Archiving always goes with complex selection criteria stated by librarians, curators, politicians or – in the particular case of web archiving – engineers and robots called crawlers that determine the spatio-temporal coverage of archived corpora. Unlike traditional archival materials, web archives can’t be understood apart from their own archiving processes : crawlers tear web resources away from the continuous temporality of the Web and produce discretized snapshots timestamped by archiving date. By nature, Web archives are not direct traces of the Web, they are direct traces of crawlers (1).
