CRRA Webinar: Curating Catholic Web Archives About the COVID-19 Pandemic

"Curating Catholic Web Archives About the COVID-19 Pandemic," is a presentation from December 11, 2020, led by CRRA members Kayla Harris, Librarian/Archivist at the University of Dayton, and Stephanie Shreffler, Collections Librarian/Archivist at the University of Dayton and Chair of the CRRA Collections Committee.

At the University of Dayton, special collections librarians curated collections of web content using the Internet Archive’s Archive-It software, documenting Catholic responses to the COVID-19 pandemic: The COVID-19 Pandemic and the U.S. Church collection and The Marian Library Web Clippings collection.

This presentation introduces attendees to web-archiving and Archive-It; explains the criteria used to make selections for the web collections; and describes how the collections support the missions of the University Libraries and of the university as a whole.
