- Launched in 2007 by the Basque Government Department of Culture and the Basque Government IT services company, the Basque web capture project joins forces with European and international initiatives to harvest and conserve the online digital heritage. Projects launched in the mid-90s both by national libraries and private organisations and which have given an enormous boost to the development of tools and directives for conservation of the born digital heritage. In this document, we describe the setting in motion of Ondarenet (www.euskadi.net/ondarenet), an information system permitting collection, conservation and distribution of the Basque web. The software used for this project is the Toolkit proposed by the International Internet Preservation Consortium (IIPC). Used by most existing similar international initiatives, these open-source tools are relatively easy to install and maintain (Heritrix, NutchWAX, WebCurator and Wayback). This is an ambitious project which, like all historical archives, harnesses documents and creates collections for their custody with a view to the preservation of a country’s historical memory, a memory in this case presented in the shape of collections consisting of born-digital resources.
