Arrangement
This series is arranged alphabetically by website.
Accruals
New site crawls are accrued semiannually.
In 2020, https://www.dc37.net/ and https://dc37blog.net/ began to be captured monthly.
Appraisal
Crawl was limited to domains and subdomains of http://www.dc37.net/, https://dc37blog.net/, https://www.dc37covid19.net/, and http://www.dc37pep.net/ in order to remain within the collection scope and data constraints.
Physical Characteristics and Technical Requirements

Certain file types will not be captured dependent on how they are embedded in the site.
