Abstract

Digital preservation is a major concern for libraries and organisations internationally. This paper will examine the barriers faced by web archiving programmes in national libraries, such as the Koninklijke Bibliotheek in the Netherlands and the National Library of Australia's PANDORA. The report will analyse how these programmes deal with the difficulties and limitations inherent in such programmes by examining how they approach issues of selection, access and copyright, while drawing comparisons between the programmes of the two institutions and the legal frameworks in which they function.
