Chapter Web archiving in Tunisia post-2011: The National Library of Tunisia’s experience

Abstract

The National Library of Tunisia had undertaken the digitization of written heritage and the "heritagization" of digital documents. To meet the second requirement, a web archiving unit was created outside the legal deposit service, as the organic law regulating this procedure only provided for the voluntary deposit of digital documents produced by publishers and authors, while social networks were becoming a virtual agora and a stage hosting several forms of literary and artistic creativity.
