UK Web Archive Data

The UK Web Archive (UKWA) is a partnership of all six UK Legal Deposit Libraries. Its aim is to collect and preserve websites published in the UK, encompassing a broad spectrum of topics. Selective archiving began in 2005 and, following the implementation of the Legal Deposit Libraries (Non-Print Works Regulations 2013), archiving continued at a whole-domain level. Since 2024, UKWA started publishing the metadata of inactive curated collections as data. These data sets are published in CSV and JSON format with a datasheet and data dictionary. There are also other data sets related to research outputs in the British Library Research Repository.
