• Easter Rising 1916 Web Archive Webpage • This is a ‘stop gap’ solution• Content not up-to-date• Only small sample of collection
• Legal Deposit Archive• No collection level browse in legal deposit web archive • search results difficult to narrow down to meaningful
selection
• UK Web Archive• Not all content loaded into UK Web Archive, in
particular very little UK content, primarily Irish permissions content
• Media content problematic from permissions perspective

Permissions
Initial responses to request usually positive, but The terminology of the Licence agreement is restrictive due to
the UK legislative framework
Multiple levels of manual input from both the curatorial and the technical aspects
Huge commitment of time in advocacy and reassurance
It was often difficult to identify the decision maker in an organisation
