What is Collaborative Collecting?

Collaborative Collecting allows users from multiple Archive-It accounts to work together on building web archive collections. 

When enabled, one or more Source accounts can share seeds, along with all their associated Wayback captures, to a designated Target account. This makes it possible for partners to contribute archived content to a single collection while still managing crawls and data budgets within their own accounts. Collaborative Collecting is ideal for projects that span organizations or require coordinated contributions from multiple teams.

This feature must be activated and configured by the Archive-It team before use. If you're interested in using it, please reach out to us by submitting a support request.
