Description:

The University of Miami Libraries collects and preserves materials covering a broad range of subject areas in support of teaching, learning, and research. The UM Libraries Web Archive parallels and complements the Libraries’ collections, with a focus on the collecting strengths of the Cuban Heritage Collection, Special Collections, and University Archives. Since web content can change rapidly and disappear without warning, web archiving is an important component of the UM Libraries’ collecting strategy in order to document the web presence of the institutions, organizations, people, events, and topics represented in the Libraries’ collections.
