Web Archiving Roundup: January 2024

Note: Our section now has a Zotero library for web archiving resources, so you can find all the resources featured in our monthly web archiving roundups in one place! You do not need to create an account to access our Zotero library. Each month, we’ll be updating our Zotero library with new links.
