Archive Hub

ArchiveHub's mission is to coalesce a community of social science researchers focused on tackling next-generation questions of Internet research using the Internet Archive, the largest single record of the history of the World Wide Web, dating from 1995 to the present. ArchiveHub serves as our venue for gathering collective input, sharing updates, and ultimately publishing databases collected through the course of this research.

This NSF supported project, led by Matthew Weber, is based around a community of social science researchers focused on tackling next-generational questions of Internet research using the Internet Archive dating from 1995 to the present. The team is working together to: (1) develop the prototype tool, Archive Hub, as a powerful Internet research tool to support their research projects, and (2) create sample databases to demonstrate how to conduct research using archival Web data, particularly the longitudinal studies this historical record makes possible.
