Year: 2016
Type: article
Abstract: The article is an attempt to answer the question about presence and products of a man on the Web from the point of view of archival science, which meets a challenge of contemporary humanities. The author studied actions taken by a man on the Internet in the context of possibilities offered. Some attention was paid to currently used methods of archiving the Web, what enabled the author to draw some general conclusions about factors, which mostly decide about archiving the Internet. The approach of anthropology-oriented archival science to archiving the Internet requires implementation of proper archiving strategies. A key in studying these strategies should be analysis of actions and products of people, paying attention to activities of a man on the Internet and his/her products – put on the Web and created on the Web.
