Accruals

New site crawls are accrued semiannually.

Appraisal

Crawl was limited to domains and subdomains of http://www.nabetcwa.org/ and https://www.nabetcwasports.org/ in order to remain within the collection scope and data constraints. Scope was expanded to include Wix elements in the website.

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.
