Abstract

The statutory collection mandate of the German National Library (DNB) includes collecting websites in the German web. The DNB has operated a web archive for this purpose since 2012. It is to be significantly expanded over the next few years. In order to accommodate this expansion, a new web archive system is currently under development and questions now need to be addressed regarding the selection of websites to be collected. The article discusses various aspects, including the special features of the web medium that need to be taken into account when making selections, the principle of representative diversity, and systematised selection approaches. It also outlines the stake­ holders, the basic requirements and the cornerstones of a new web archive system.
