Complexity Limitations
many factors conspiring to overwhelm resources
Content Published on the Web Which Cannot Easily Be Captured Through Conventional Web Archiving Practices
Material that is not capturable via conventional web-archiving practices (i.e. remote capture with a non-browser-based crawler). The common characteristic of the material is not so much the type of content, or the context but rather the preservation risk posed to the material as a result of decisions made by the website creators, to use technologies and make design decisions that do not support the capture of the content, combined with the limitations of current web archiving processes.
Digital Archives of Music Production
Digital materials created by musicians and fans as a by-product of performance or recording, not otherwise published or shared. The use of ‘archives’ in this context refers to music production data that is in an archive.
Exhibition Content
Born-digital or hybrid-digital content that was created and/or commissioned for exhibitions and has not been accessioned into the collection. This category is considered as an object or a 'work' in its own right, and not interpretive materials.
Legacy Media Art
Media art in storage or not otherwise displayed but where the artists or technicians are available to support installation.
Media Art by Deceased Artists or Defunct Workshops
Media art where the artists or creative technicians are either deceased or not able to provide guidance on authenticity and installation.
Original Digital Music and Sound Recordings
Original recordings of music and other performance from which retail products are derived, typically in multiple tracks and uncompressed high-resolution sound quality.
Pre-Production TV and Movie Materials
Digital records of the creative and production process for film and television, such as initial designs, screenplay and script, on set still photography, rushes or out-takes that are not included in the final production and therefore not available to on-air broadcast archives or film libraries.
Recently Commissioned or Completed Media Art
Media art currently displayed in a gallery or in the process of being displayed.
