Transitioning an archiving pilot into a resilient, long-term program is a perennial challenge in the web archiving field. Moving beyond initial proof-of-concept and pilot projects requires strategic investment in technical infrastructure, human capital and securing funding. Featuring experts from libraries with 20+ years in running web archiving programs as well as international collaboration, this panel explores the roadmaps for sustainable growth. Discussion will focus on the practical challenges and solutions regarding long-term staffing, infrastructure, and collection management practices that move a program from "temporary project" to "enduring program".
