ATBW Summer Webinar Series: Archiving Social Media
August 6, 2025 at 2:00pm EDT
Social media platforms have become essential tools for communication, shaping public discourse, politics, culture, and personal interactions. However, the rapid pace at which content is created, shared, and discarded makes it increasingly challenging to capture, preserve, and access these digital records in the future. Web archiving social media content presents unique challenges for web archivists, including capturing dynamic elements, navigating login barriers, and addressing ethical considerations. This webinar will cover best practices, explore tools and methods for capturing dynamic content (such as tweets, posts, TikTok profiles, and videos).
