WARCreate and WAIL: WARC, Wayback and Heritrix Made Easy.

WARCreate and WAIL: WARC, Wayback and Heritrix Made Easy.  July 10, 2013.
A goal of the Web Science and Digital Libraries Research Group is to assist in making web preservation accessible to regular users instead of just power users.  A few digital preservation software packages that were created by WS-DLers include:
  • Warrick - a utility for reconstructing/ recovering a website using various archives and caches.
  • Synchronicity - a Firefox extension that supports rediscovering missing web pages
  • mcurl - a command-line memento client
  • WARCreate - a Google Chrome extension that can create WARC files from any webpage 
  • Web Archiving Integration Layer (WAIL) - a re-packaged Wayback and Heritrix that aims to be "One-Click User Instigated Preservation"
