Hi all, For my PhD project I want to analyse Polish and Turkish websites for sexual and gender minorities. The problem I'm facing right now is how to archive the whole websites? Is it possible? If yes, could you recommend me any good (and preferably free) software to do so? I also can save a web page (not the whole website) using my browser but then not all elements are saved (e.g. banners). The same is also true for creating PDF files using software like PDF creator (working as a printer). One of the option is to have a screenshots of home page and other pages I want to analyse. Do you think it will be enough? The disadvantage of this method is that if after a year I realize I want to look at some other sub-pages it won't be possible any longer. I'd be very grateful for your help, Best, Lukasz Lukasz Szulc PhD Candidate University of Antwerp Department of Communication Studies www.ua.ac.be/lukasz.szulc
Hello Lukasz, the open source website copier HTTrack (http://www.httrack.com/) would probably suffice for your needs. It can be used to download an entire site and saves the files so that they can be viewed and traversed locally with your browser. ~Nicholas Nicholas Taylor | Information Technology Specialist | Library of Congress Web Archiving<http://www.loc.gov/webarchiving/> Phone: (202) 707-3940 | E-mail: ntay@loc.gov<mailto:ntay@loc.gov> | Twitter: @nullhandle<http://twitter.com/nullhandle>
Dear Szulc, My favorite is Scrapbook (http://amb.vis.ne.jp/mozilla/scrapbook/), a Firefox ad-on. It's quick and user-friendly, and good for archiving multi-lingual websites.

And all these tools can be used to attack a website exhausting its monthly bandwidth as well :-D ! /Sari On 11/26/2011 11:42 PM, Yukari Seko wrote:
