“Currently the International Internet Preservation Consortium is supporting the development of the Web Archive (WARC) format, based on the Internet Archive’s crawler output format, for conversion of websites. Two current projects, the Living Web Archives and the World Wide Web of Humanities, are being carried out in Europe to develop a capture format that retains the visual and interactive features of websites for digital discovery and archiving.” (Galloway 2011, 173)
