This paper argues that web historiography should be placed higher on the internet studies research agenda.  A better understanding of the web of the past is crucial for understanding the web today, whether the form of such understanding is through political economy, social interaction or everyday use.



Based on reflections about "historiography" and the "web", this paper discusses in detail some of the major challenges of web historiography compared to historiography in general.

He has published numerous articles, monographs and edited books, including Archiving Websites (2005), Media History (ed. with S. Kolstrup, 2002), and Web History (ed., 2010).
