Web Archiving and Digital Libraries (WADL)

The hypertext ecosystem is inherently dynamic, with digital content continuously evolving and disappearing.Web archiving and digital libraries serve as crucial infrastructures for preserving hypertext structures, enabling scholarly research on the evolution of hyperlinked content, and supporting knowledge continuity across various domains.This workshop will explore cutting-edge approaches in web archiving and their intersection with hypertext research, emphasizing AI-driven preservation, user engagement with digital archives, decentralized archival systems, and ethical considerations.WADL 2025 will feature interactive sessions, hands-on demonstrations, and cross-disciplinary discussions that directly align with ACM Hypertext 2025 themes, including hypertext history, digital storytelling, automation, decentralized hypertext, and ethical concerns in web preservation.
