Using ReproZip-Web for Archiving and Preservation of Digital Projects and Other Complex, Dynamic Websites

Digital – and Digital Humanities (DH) – research projects face many archiving challenges. Web hosting can be expensive to maintain, and these works are often built without long-term preservation of the work in mind.
