For #WebArchiveWednesday, I'm highlighting some of the ways that #webarchives have been used to study #disinformation over the past few years and bring together some of the work that @WebSciDL has done in this area. @oducs @ODUSCI /1

Examples include how #webarchives have been used to:
* examine how webpages have been changed
* corroborate or refute posted screenshots
* study archived social media posts
* investigate metadata and past behavior of particular social media accounts

This post is essentially a follow-up to @WebSciDL MS student @lesley_elis's recent post that looked at how journalists use web archives. ws-dl.blogspot.com/2022/08/2022-0…

Below are links to some of the @WebSciDL projects that I mention in my blog post. /3

Yesterday @USATODAY ran a fact check story about a fake Obama tweet screenshot being shared on social media. Author @SadeghiMckenzie could not find any mementos of this tweet in @internetarchive. #webarchiving

This is an example of one of the points @phonedude_mln and I made in a @WebSciDL blog post last weekend: screenshots of tweets can be faked. To prove existence, one needs to link to #webarchives. Even better if they link to #MultipleWebArchives.

And even better if they can use Robust Links to help readers find evidence of the tweet in #MultipleWebArchives.

In addition to the excellent tools from the tweeted picture, there are many #webarchiving tools in development by @WebSciDL and the @LosAlamosNatLab Research Library Prototeam.

Some examples below #eResearchNZ19 #DH #eResearch
Ever wonder which archives have a capture of a given URL? What about for a specific time? Do you want to search multiple #webarchives at once?

The Memento TimeTravel service run by @LosAlamosNatLab uses the #Memento protocol for just that: timetravel.mementoweb.org

#webarchiving
From your own machine, MemGator, by @ibnesayeed and @machawk1, also allows one to search across #webarchives using the #Memento protocol.
