Has anyone tried to archive Manifold or Pressbooks sites?

Here at the UW we're starting to get questions about which platform would be best for those who want to publish digital only theses or dissertations.  Amongst the questions we want to consider is the ability to easily archive a site.

Thank you!

  I have both manually with Conifer's WebRecorder, but it has been sometime since we had a subscription to Archive-It and Manifold was not developed yet when we were still able to crawl with Archive-It.

  Hi Ann!

  I can't speak from my own experience yet, but I see that a couple of partners have collected Pressbooks sites and they appear to be fairly straightforward, like these:

  • https://wayback.archive-it.org/6662/20220126164701/https://pressbooks.middcreate.net/wardprizewriters/
  • https://wayback.archive-it.org/823/20201211204213/https://pressbooks.uiowa.edu/rogeriannursingscience/

  I don't see any Manifold publications archived yet. Let us know if you have a sample or a test crawl to evaluate though. I'd be happy to take a closer look into that one if so.
