Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to explore the core components of the University of Melbourne's Web Archiving Strategy Project within the context of a racing car analogy. The racing track represents the organisational context of the project, the cars represent projects within the University (the prime focus of this paper is the project called the 'Web Archiving Strategy Project'), the drivers and team sponsors represent the people involved in the project, the tools and pit crew represent the policies and technical solutions for the project, while the 'next race details' represent where we plan to take the project in the future.
