The Open Source Tool That Has Preserved 150,000 Pieces of Online Evidence
bellingcat: “bellingcat’s Auto Archiver is a tool aimed at preserving online digital content before it can be modified, deleted or taken down. Publicly launched in 2022, it has preserved over 150,000 web pages and social media posts to date. The Auto Archiver has been used by Bellingcat’s journalists to preserve information on dozens of fast moving events such as the Jan. 6 riots – when we first used the tool internally – as well as gather digital evidence for our Justice and Accountability project and to monitor Civilian Harm in Ukraine.
The Auto Archiver has also been adopted by both large newsrooms and NGOs. It has been used by individual researchers, journalists, activists, archivists, academics and developers as well. With interest in the tool strong, we have worked hard to add to and improve it over time.
But we have used the past few months to take a step back and to build a new and more robust ecosystem to further help individual organisations and researchers use and benefit from it. Our aim has been to make it more reliable and even easier to use for more people. Today, we are happy to announce an updated version of the Auto Archiver which includes many new features like:
- Detailed documentation for all features and configurations
- A user-friendly interface designed for teams using a shared instance
- A new modular structure that improves the startup speed and reliability of the tool
- New features like chain of custody, perceptual hashing for deduplication, and techniques to avoid anti-bot measures and captchas on websites
- A user-friendly tool to configure the Auto Archiver, without the need to edit configuration text files..”
