Immediate Source of Acquisition

In October 2023, Dan Cavanaugh, an archivist at the University of Virginia Law Library, created the items in this file. The items were the product of scheduled web crawls of the University of Virginia School of Law website. That same month, Cavanaugh transferred the files to the Law Library's archival repository.

Appraisal

Archivists decided to divide the capture of the School of Law website into 49 crawls because they determined that the content was too large to capture in one crawl. As much as possible, they tried to break the site into self-contained facets that reflected the creator's divisions. Ultimately, however, archivists were responsible for defining the facets and marking the boundaries between different kinds of content. Their appraisal decisions are recorded in text configuration files that are preserved with the web archive files.

The following resources published on the School of Law website in Fall 2023 were not included in this collection: directories, the scholarship repository, alumni pages, reunion pages, podcasts, the news archives, the media archive, library exhibits, and library databases.
