Immediate Source of Acquisition

Donated by Adele Fournet, October 2017. The accession numbers associated with this gift are 2017.118 and 2017.185.

http://www.adelefournet.com was initially added as part of the New York University Collection of Contemporary Composers' Websites Web Archive in 2017.

The accession numbers associated with the videos are 2019.045, 2019.058, 2021.022, 2021.030, and 2022.012. In December 2019, https://soundcloud.com/adelefournet/ and https://adelefournet.bandcamp.com/ was added to the web archives. The accession number associated with these websites is 2020.005.

Custodial History

Websites are selected by curators and captured through the use of Archive-It. Archive-It uses web crawling technology to capture websites at a scheduled time and displays only an archived copy, from the resulting WARC file, of the website.

Physical Characteristics and Technical Requirements

Advance notice is required for the use of computer records. Original physical digital media is restricted.

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. Full-Text searches of archived websites are available at https://archive-it.org/organizations/567.
