About this Guide
Processing Information
At the time of accessioning, materials were rehoused in archival boxes and folders, and described on the collection-level. Born-digital objects on physical carriers were identified, physically separated, and inventoried, but have not yet been forensically imaged, analyzed, or described. New York University Libraries follow professional standards and best practices when imaging, ingesting, and processing born-digital material in order to maintain the integrity and authenticity of the content.
In 2019, the archived websites were added to the finding aid.

Appraisal
Crawl was limited to domains and subdomains of wp.nyu.edu/crm, therevealer.org, wp.nyu.edu/cmch, s18798.pcdn.co, and wp.nyu.edu/therevealer in order to remain within the collection scope and data constraints.
Physical Characteristics and Technical Requirements
Due to technical or privacy issues, archived websites may not be exact copies of the original website at the time of the web crawl. Certain file types will not be captured dependent on how they are embedded in the site. Other parts of websites that the crawler has difficulty capturing includes Javascript, streaming content, database-driven content, and highly interactive content.
