ABOUT THE CAPTURE/ARCHIVAL COPY
These archival copies of the website were created by the UO Libraries Digital Scholarship 
Services Department to provide fully interactive, sustainable long-term access to a completed
website, given the ephemeral nature of the web.

The first copy was created using Webrecorder, a free, open-source web archiving service created by Rhizome at the New Museum, funded by
The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation and the Knight Foundation and the Institute of Museum and Library Service. 

The second copy was created using Archive-It, a leading web archiving service for collecting and accessing cultural heritage on the web.

Both archival copies are WARC (Web ARChive) files. This file format format specifies a method for combining multiple digital resources
into an aggregate archival file together with related information. It is used for web-accessible 
content in a final or archived state. 

WARC files are often compressed using gzip, resulting in a .warc.gz extension.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
Users can access the archived website either online or offline, using the Webrecorder Player, 
a web or desktop application for Windows, OSX and Linux.
