WARC (Web ARChive)

A WARC (Web ARChive) is a digital file that stores a complete snapshot of web pages, including text, images, and links, at a specific point in time. It functions like a digital archive, allowing researchers, libraries, and organizations to preserve and access historical versions of websites. This helps ensure that web content remains available even if the original site changes or is removed. WARCs are used for digital preservation, research, and referencing, providing a reliable record of online information over time.
