Abstract

This work aims to bring the existing relationships between Digital Humanities, as an emerging field of inter and transdisciplinary studies, and the field of web archiving, which consists of policies, methodologies and technologies that involve the selection, capture, storage,  preservation and availability of web content for access and retrospective use. Web content has a relatively short lifecycle, since content producers generally do not care about keeping online access for the long term and that several efforts are required for success fully preserving digital content. Given this, it has been observed that the sense of community, one of the characteristics of Digital Humanities, can be an important factor for a better development of archives – both nationally and for other countries in the Southern Hemisphere, since most of these countries do not have web archives and, therefore, risk losing their web content and digital memory.
