#rclone has built-in support for uploading to and downloading from the #internetArchive (because IA has a fairly S3-compatible API). This is super useful for keeping local copies of items up to date without re-downloading everything.

Jean Armour Polly, aka the Net-mom & the person who helped popularize the phrase “surfing the internet," celebrates the Internet Archive’s 1 trillionth webpage. Her message highlights the ephemerality of websites, the importance of preserving digital culture, & honors the librarians & archivists who make it possible.

In Berlin feiern wir am 11.11. zwar keinen Karneval, aber es gibt was für's Köpfchen! 🙌
Morgen geht es im #BBK um Webarchive als Forschungsressource. Helge Holzmann erklärt uns, wie das Internet Archive den Zugang zu archivierten Webseiten ermöglicht und welche Chancen das für Wissenschaft und Lehre bietet. 18 Uhr geht's los, wie (fast) immer via Zoom!
Alle Infos: https://hu.berlin/bbk-webarchive

This week I have been digging around in the #InternetArchive looking for digitised Arabic periodicals. With a bit of #Rstats and far too many hours with #XSLT and #TEI/XML spent on identifying titles based on the very patchy metadata provided by uploaders, there are quite some exciting finds.
The API returned some 4500+ items for the keywords "جريدة", "مجلة", and "صحيفة", of which I could identify 781 as pertaining to 100 individual Arabic periodicals published before 1930. Links to all of these have been uploaded to #Wikidata, which will increase their visibility to scholars and the interested public.
There are, of course, thousands of items for which I couldn’t programmatically establish a title with sufficient certainty, let alone try and link them to existing records without actually looking at the digital facsimile and reading the information provided on front-pages and mastheads.
Check out https://query-chest.toolforge.org/redirect/wnywBGxzyyiukWWYiIQqi0smeUCu6AggKG4mOME68i3 to see the results.

Does anybody know anything about deduplication at the #InternetArchive? Quite frequently people upload the same files as independent items, which could be prevented by checking against checksums.
See, for example, https://archive.org/details/Om-Alqura, which seems to be an exact copy of https://archive.org/details/1320_20220730
