The European Free Trade Area (EFTA) and its role in the provision of EU information electronically A new Brexit collection was started in July 2016. ![]() The EU Referendum collecting project was to be wound up by the end of 2016 and the content will not be available to researchers for about a year after that. As at 3 November 2016, there were 2,856 websites in the EU Referendum Collection, including a large amount of news sites (about 1,300) and 221 blogs. It focuses on material unlikely to be found by routine crawls, on fast-changing sites and on sites that are not self-archiving (unlike, for example, blogs). The EU Referendum Web Archive is one of the UK Web Archive’s curated special collections. It produces trends – popular searches over time- as well as providing a search facility. The SHINE search engine () is a good way to look at the Archive. Web Archive content can be searched using the British Library online catalogue and other deposit libraries’ catalogues. To see most of the Web Archive you have to go to the reading room of one of the UK legal deposit libraries, or the library of Trinity College, Dublin. All the content is indexed as part of the archiving process. Most sites are only captured up to 500mb the BBC website is an example of an exception to this. Selected sites are archived more frequently, some daily. ![]() Every site in the archive is captured at least once a year. There are three collections: the Open UK Web Archive, the UK Legal Deposit Archive and the JISC UK Domain Dataset. The UK Web Archive covers 10 million hosts (roughly equivalent to 10 million websites). ![]() Jason Webber of the British Library spoke about the UK Web Archive and and Svenja Kunze of the Bodleian Library talked about one of its special collections, the EU Referendum web archive.
