Recently, Sawood (ibnesayeed.bsky.social) & I uncovered a tricky web archiving replay problem. An API call several layers of JS deep had superfluous browser size args that would intermittently load the wrong JSON for the archived HTML ws-dl.blogspot.com/2026/05/2026... (all images/links are SFW)

In "Detecting and reconstructing trustworthy edit histories using web archives", I talk about different markers of edit history on webpages and how web archives can be used to verify or refute them. ws-dl.blogspot.com/2026/02/2026... @webscidl.bsky.social

In this blog post, I summarized Goel et al.’s "Jawa: Web Archival in the Era of JavaScript". They identified sources of non-determinism that cause replay problems and created a crawler that removes non-deterministic code. #WebArchiveWednesday @webscidl.bsky.social ws-dl.blogspot.com/2025/06/2025...

This semester, all of my federal grants were terminated. In a new blog post, I write about the importance of federal funding for academic research and the impact of these cuts. @WebSciDL #NEH #IMLS #NSF ws-dl.blogspot.com/2025/05/2025...

One of the goals for the Saving Ads project was to create a dataset of advertisements from the live web. This blog post describes our process for creating this dataset: ws-dl.blogspot.com/2025/02/2025... #WebArchiveWednesday @webscidl.bsky.social (1/7)
