Abstract: In general, network analyses of the web are usually performed on
the online web by the use of analytical software. However, since the late
90s many countries have established extensive national web archives, but
these web archives does not seem to have attracted much attention from the
research community, especially not regarding the use of analytical software
for network analysis. Therefore, the methodological issues which may emanate
from performing network analyses on archived web material have not yet been
discussed. This presentation will outline some of the key challenges which
web historians and other internet scholars are facing when they want to use
archived web material as the basis of network analysis software. And
hopefully some possible solutions will be suggested.
