It is possible that one of the reason why so little is being done about Web resource preservation is that everybody feels it is somebody else’s responsibility. It might be very easy for us all to avoid the issue by standing back and waiting for someone else to tackle what, we have already explained, is a very complex problem. However taking this approach may mean that nobody does anything and we all lose out.
So whose responsibility is Web resource preservation then?
There are a number of parties who may have an interest in the preservation of Web resource. These range from the international institutions down to the individual.
