Sažetak
In Croatia, the only institution that archives the web is the National and University Library in Zagreb. The library established the Croatian Web Archive (HAW) and began archiving Croatian web sources in 2004. From then until today, we have developed several approaches to web archiving: selective, .hr crawls, thematic crawls, building local history collections and social media archiving. In order to broaden our collections and raise public awareness as much as possible the Croatian Web Archive is opening up to collaboration with other libraries, as well as all interested citizens. One of the examples is the Building Local History Web project from 2020. That year, the Croatian Web Archive began collaboration with public libraries for the purpose of archiving web resources related to a specific area or homeland. The contents are related to a specific locality with the aim of presenting and ensuring long-term access to local materials that are available only on the web and complement and popularize the local history collection of the public library. In addition to collaboration with public libraries, the Croatian Web Archive has connected with the User Service Department of the National and University Library in Zagreb, in order to involve citizens in the creation of thematic collections through citizen science. In that way the thematic collection “Bees, life, people” was created, using the crowdsourcing method, in collaboration with the public library, citizens (high school students) and other library departments. This presentation will discuss developing a collection policy, collaboration and working process in building local history and citizen science collections. The lessons learned throughout collaboration with citizens and public libraries are great encouragement to expand the existing scope of archiving as well as involvement of other libraries and citizens in raising awareness of information literacy and the importance of archiving web content.
