Acquisition Information
Archivists at the University of Virginia's Arthur J. Morris Library captured the materials in this collection from the School of Law's website.
Appraisal
The materials in this collection initially existed as web pages linked to the School of Law website. Archivists strive to capture the School of Law's online resources and preserve them in a state close to how they would have appeared to users when they were live. However, to overcome technological limitations and to allow for sustainable preservation, archivists often made appraisal decisions that resulted in archived websites that function and look different from the originals. For example, when the School of Law media archive was too large to crawl and preserve as a single resource, archivists divided it into facets and crawled each part separately.
When using the web archives in this collection, researchers should know that these resources are not identical copies of the original websites. Instead, they are close representations shaped by the appraisal decisions of archivists.
