Focus here is on my particular point of view as a DH administrator in a library and how our work intersects with the university's embedded pedagogies, that web of policies, norms, and decisions that structure the work of the classroom from far beyond its walls.

DIY web archiving is way more doable than you think. Trust me, we taught elementary schoolers and retirees as part of SUCHO. Then we made a zine about it! Making time for web archiving things that matter should be like shoreline litter pickup or community garden weeding events.
