English abstract

Awareness of the need to preserve the Web heritage began to spread in the early 1990s, and the first Web archiving initiatives were launched at the National Library of Australia in 1993-1996. However, even today, especially in Italy, it is difficult to find contributions that address the topic of Web and Social media archiving from the perspective of process governance and its relationship with the laws and ethical issues. The purpose of this article is to investigate which actors are involved in these processes, what are the main criticalities or innovations compared to “traditional” cultural heritage management, providing concrete examples where possible.

Italian abstract

Vedersi restituire l’errore “risorsa non trovata” è un’esperienza comune a tutti coloro che cercano informazioni sul Web. La conservazione del patrimonio web è, infatti, una delle sfide della società contemporanea. Il presente contributo si propone non tanto di analizzare le ormai consolidate tecnologie per il Web e Social media archiving ma piuttosto il piano della governance complessiva dei processi di archiviazione e quello del quadro legislativo di settore non solo a livello nazionale, ma anche nel rapporto con il sovranazionale. Laddove possibile riportando casi reali, si cerca inoltre di definire chi siano i diversi soggetti coinvolti e responsabili della costruzione di un’eredità digitale nazionale che possa essere fruita e compresa compiutamente dalle prossime generazioni.
