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.<BR>
