But historians have yet to formulate a methodology for approaching the archived web as a source of study. How should the history of the present be written? In this book, Niels Br?ger offers an original methodological framework for approaching the web of the past, both as a source and as an object of study in its own right. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWhile many studies of the web focus solely on its use and users, Br?ger approaches the archived web as a semiotic, textual system in order to offer the first book-length treatment of its scholarly use. While the various forms of the archived web can challenge researchers' interactions with it, they also present a range of possibilities for interpretation. The \u003ci\u003eArchived Web ide\u003c\/i\u003entifies characteristics of the online web that are significant now for scholars, investigates how the online web became the archived web, and explores how the particular digitality of the archived web can affect a historian's research process. Br?ger offers suggestions for how to translate traditional historiographic methods for the study of the archived web, focusing on provenance, creating an overview of the archived material, evaluating versions, and citing the material. The\u003ci\u003e Archived Web lays\u003c\/i\u003e the foundations for doing web history in the digital age, offering important and timely guidance for today's media scholars and tomorrow's historians.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Niels Br?ger\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0262549719\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780262549714\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e MIT Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/31\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 200\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.65lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.45d","brand":"Niels Br?ger","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44450322940159,"sku":"9780262549714","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_998a024a-4876-4f63-b4ed-308289048f9e.jpg?v=1698504147","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-archived-web-niels-brgger-9780262549714","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
