Abstract

While websites are of great interest for digital archives, the digital long term preservation of websites poses a huge problem. Given that websites consist of a large number of file formats they require today's hardware and software environment to work properly. PABLO is a software tool that processes websites and transforms them into a dramatically simplified form that is simple enough for digital archiving and exhaustive enough to preserve the websites content and appearance. The software allows users to browse the entire site like the original.
