hanzo:archives, the web archiving company

LONDON, 10 March 2008

Today we release our white paper on enterprise web archiving for e-discovery, in which we seek to answer the following following questions:

1. How do you archive your documents and ensure they comply with all the relevant business processes, laws and regulations?
2. Most organisations have systems for dealing with paper documents – from contracts and memos to advertising and marketing materials. Many also have systems for emails. But what about sales and marketing literature on your website, pages from your intranet, customer forums, blogs and so on? They all have to be compliant, and you may need to refer to them in the future.
3. How do you archive a website and all its links, when it may be hosted on multiple servers using different software and possibly managed by an agency?

With the generous support of the International Internet Preservation Consortium (IIPC), the people behind the worlds largest and most comprehensive web archives, Hanzo has developed an extensive open source library and tools for the creation and manipulation of ISO standard compliant WARC-based web archives.

LONDON, 8th February 2008

Hanzo is delighted to be the commercial Web Archiving business partner to collaborate on the Europe-wide Living Web Archives project. This 3-year project is funded by the European Union through their 7th Research Framework Programme.

The objective of the Living Web Archives project is to develop the next generation Web Archiving methods and tools that capture all types of content in its dynamic and hidden form. In contrast with the commonly used "freeze" of Web content "snapshots", the LiWA approach will transform content storage into a "Living" web archive.

CERN, the birthplace of the World Wide Web, selected Hanzo to archive their entire public website and their collection of collaborators' sites and make the archives available to the public.

Tim Berners-Lee invented the Web while at CERN in 1989 and published the world's first website on 6 August 1991. Years later, Hanzo are archiving the whole of CERNs Web presence, and sharing this archive with European Archive and Internet Archive to ensure its long term preservation.
