Collecting Social Media
Tuesday, June 18, 2019
2:00 PM - 3:30 PM ET
In this webinar participants will learn about various aspects of starting a social media archiving project or program. We will explore community resources and discuss a variety of
topics like technology and types of social media archiving, collection development and policy considerations, and description. The instructor will cover specific tools such as Archive-It, twarc, and webrecorder. Some prior knowledge of web archiving may be
helpful, but is not required.

Introduction
to Emergency Digital Collecting
Wednesday, July 24, 2019
2:00 – 4:00 PM ET
Have you experienced a crisis in your community and wanted to immediately start collecting materials, but didn’t know where to begin? This class will help your institution prepare
to respond to an unexpected event in your community and quickly collect and provide access to digital materials including photos, videos, and social media. The session will cover preparing for emergency collecting, including establishing a team and creating
policies, and will examine a case study from the University of Virginia (UVA), as well as a table top exercise to assess your institution’s current readiness to respond. UVA’s crisis collecting workflows and tools were tested in the “Unite the Right” rally
and community response in Charlottesville in 2017, and have grown and evolved since then. While the focus in on documenting in an emergency, the tools and approaches can be utilized for planned events as well, such as community anniversaries, inaugurations,
and celebrations.
Please note: This class covers the administrative side of digital emergency collecting—while we will talk about some specific tools, this is not a deep dive into the specifics of
how to implement those tools.
Instructor: Kara McClurken, Director of Preservation Services at the University of Virginia Library
