17.1 Archiving preserving the context of documents

The Standard

17.1 The archive preserves the context in which the documents were made available.

Guide to this standard

Content and documents available on the web that are now "historic" should not be altered for archiving. Any item of web content or document extracted from archive must be in the wording and should be in the format as it was when online.

Rationale for this standard

By mandate, the content of any document is not changed from its original once archived.
