Report on the Scholarly Use of Web Archives Across Ireland: The Past,
Present & Future(s), by Sharon Healy (Maynooth University) and Helena Byrne
(British Library)

We are delighted to announce the recent publication of this WARCnet report
which incorporated a review of resources and literature, informal dialogues
with heritage colleagues, and the use of an online survey. The study sought
to (i) examine the causes for the loss of digital heritage and how this
relates to Ireland, (ii) offer an overview of the landscape of web archives
based across Ireland, and their availability, and accessibility as
resources for Irish based research, and (iii) provide some insight into
awareness/engagement with web archives in Irish third-level academic
institutions. This report will be of benefit not only for web archive users
but also the wider web archiving community as many of the challenges faced
by Irish based web archiving initiatives and Irish based researchers will
not be unique to Ireland.
