windowtext 1.0pt;padding:0cm">The history of web archiving has
been one of the interaction between fast-evolving web
technologies and the processes and technologies used to archive
the web: a perpetual arms race between developers of the live
web, and the archivists charged to preserve the record. This
interplay is the theme for this year’s GA at Stanford, in the
heart of Silicon Valley. It has four sub-themes:</span><span

the providers of archives harness the power of new

are the innovative projects that show the way, and which are
the emerging technologies that will be next? Can web archiving
developers co-operate more and better with others in the

What does truly innovative research look like? How are
researchers, both inside and outside the academic sector, using
the archived web now, and what are the questions they would like
to ask of the archive, but cannot (yet)? Is there yet innovation
in the *methods* that researchers are using; or is the use of
web archives still analogous to older paradigms of the use of
printed objects?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
