Volunteers Unite to Archive Ukrainian Cultural Heritage

One week after launching the initiative Saving Ukrainian Cultural Heritage Online (SUCHO), co-organizers from Stanford University, Tufts University and Austrian Center for Digital Humanities and Cultural Heritage, report that the project’s Volunteers from across the world have captured over 1,500 Ukrainian museum and library websites, digital exhibits, text corpora, and open access publications. More than 1,300 cultural heritage professionals are working together to identify and archive at-risk sites, digital content, and data in Ukrainian cultural heritage institutions while the country is under attack. They are using a combination of technologies to crawl and archive sites and content, including the Internet Archive’s Wayback Machine, the Browsertrix crawler.
