Background

Scope and content:

This collection contains copies of the University of Virginia School of Law's public website. On that site, the School shares content documenting its work and the experiences of its students, faculty, staff, and alumni. This includes statistics, descriptions of school services, policies, center and program descriptions, 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 alumni. Other content on the website markets the School to applicants, donors, and employers.

Acquisition information:
Archivists at the Arthur J. Morris Law Library capture and archive the website periodically.
Appraisal information:

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 might 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 Arthur J. Morris Law Library expects to add crawls of the School of Law's website to this collection at least once per academic year.
