Archiving post Web 2.0 - 2

Ironic that, where the technology enables huge amounts of information to be stored, that it also constrains that information's
archival quality - it can be more easily deleted, altered, connections and relationships (links) modified and so on. A printed
newspaper can be stored and preserved. A web page or article (or thread) can be much more easily doctored and destroyed, and perhaps is more liable to natural deteroriation.

PDFs are more likely to remain unmanipulated. But who retains HTML web pages as PDFs, or in a printed form?

Archiving post Web 2.0

Interesting in the Observer: 

"Websites 'must be saved for history' The British Library's head says that deleting websites will make job of historians harder".

It's true: what happens if all newspapers go online-only (as some predict)? Where does all that history-in-the-making get archived? Good question for a newspaper's archivist if they have them, or the British Library.
