Appraisal

Robots.txt (a piece of code designed to limit crawler activity within a website) was ignored. Crawl was limited to domains and subdomains of http://saariaho.org/ in order to remain within the collection scope and data constraints.

Embedded image, PDF, Issuu, and Youtube and Vimeo video files on the site were captured, but do not render in the archived copy. Future changes to the Wayback Machine may allow the files to be played.
