Use Social.Perma.cc To Preserve Twitter Threads!

December 20, 2022 / / 0 Comments

The Perma team and the Library Innovation Lab has been following the story of Twitter just as closely as everyone else on the web. After conversations with friends of the lab and various colleagues working to document Twitter’s digital history, we have put together a small scale experiment to help preserve threads from the site in a safe and reliable way. 

We welcome users to try out Social.Perma.cc! 

What exactly is it?

It’s a website that lets you download signed PDFs of Twitter URLs. Here’s an example PDF we made from this tweet.You can download them onto your computer to save, share, and serve them as you’d like. 

What do I need to do to use it? 

Not much! As you create the .pdf we do ask for the “reason” you’re preserving something. We are asking to get a sense of whether the tool is being used and a gut check on if it’s helping users in the ways we think it is. It’s fine to use the same answer for each pdf! 

But that’s all! Just visit social.perma.cc to get started. We do encourage you to give some thought to where you plan to store the pdf’s. Perma Social is a generator tool, not a storage tool, so you’ll need to keep these safe and accessible if you want to use them.

Why did we make it?

There are lots of screenshots of Twitter threads going around. Some are real, some are fake. You can’t tell who made them, or when they were made.

PDFs let us apply document signatures and timestamps so anyone can check, in the future, that a PDF you download with this site really came from the Harvard Library Innovation Lab and hasn’t been edited.

PDFs also let us bundle in additional media as attachments. Each signed PDF currently includes all images in the page (so you can see full size images that are cropped in the PDF view), the primary video on the page if any, as well as a list of all the t.co links on the thread and their actual destinations.

Plus, as with all of our experiments, social.perma.cc also has the meta goal of understanding the field we’re working in with more depth and pull learnings into our longer scope projects. 

If you have any questions or suggestions please reach out! 

 

New Feature: Default Playback View

November 21, 2022 / / 0 Comments

Perma records can now have a default view for users opening the Perma Link. 

When playing back a record there are sometimes preferred ways to view the results, in order to encompass the appropriate information the creator is wanting to convey. Playing back web archives is a tricky business, and sometimes different approaches offer slightly different results. For example, depending on what the Perma Link is being used for, it may or may not be relevant if ads are fully playing back in the archive. 

There are already multiple options for viewing a Perma Link, but until now a user had to manually navigate to the alternate one. Now link creators can set the default view for when a link is opened. 

The steps are easy: simply open the Perma Link and access the drop down menu called “Record Details” in the upper left hand corner of the blue banner: 

Then, simply select the default view for this particular Perma Link. When a reader clicks on this link it will automatically play back the way you have set. 


In the past, link creators could send readers to the screenshot via altering the URL. With this new feature you can switch this setting whenever you’d like, the link will not change!

New Playback Software Improves Fidelity of your Perma Links

August 17, 2022 / / 0 Comments

We are thrilled to announce the deployment of Perma’s latest update to improve the fidelity of playbacks for our collection. Going forward, the standard playback for Perma Links will be done using Webrecorder’s ReplayWeb.page. 

There are three major components of web archiving work: gathering the information to create a record (capturing), keeping the records safe for future use (storage), and reconfiguring the collected information into a viewable format (replaying).

This integration of Webrecorder technology is the latest in a series of improvements the Perma team has been working on to enhance the reliability and fidelity of all Perma Links on both the capture and playback side. You can learn more about Webrecorder’s work and this particular technology on their blog. 

Next time you view a Perma Link you will see a new portion of the blue banner at the top of a record. “View Mode” settings allow you to select which version of the playback software you would like to view the Perma Link with. 

The Standard mode now uses the new version of the playback software. 

Legacy view mode uses the older playback software, and is still available as we roll this update out. 

Additionally, you can still view a Screenshot of the Perma record when one is available. As always, this mode contains a static image rather than the high fidelity playback.

Usage Plans Updates

September 15, 2021 / / 0 Comments

A few years ago, we announced that Perma.cc was opening up access to our platform for users outside of the academic and legal community. We have loved seeing who was interested in joining our network and using the tool!

As we have broadened access to Perma.cc outside of our core academic users, we have been working to create modest, paid Usage Plans that balance the needs of our users with the ongoing investment Perma.cc makes in long term digital preservation. Here is the current state of affairs for users who are hoping to make Perma Links and don’t have an affiliation with one of our library partners.

Making a Perma Account

Anybody can create a Perma account for free and immediately gain access to 10 trial links. We created this option to give people the chance to try Perma for free to make sure it fits their needs.

Beyond those ten trial links users can continue creating Perma Links in one of two ways:

Option 1: Become associated with a Perma partner institution – we call them Registrars. There is no cost to individual users to user Perma through a Registrar. Types of Registrar accounts include academic libraries, U.S. Courts, nonprofits, newspapers, and commercial companies. 

By the way, there is no charge for academic libraries and US-based courts to become Perma partners. Organizations who don’t qualify for free accounts have the option to pay a subscription fee to maintain a Registrar and provide Perma at no charge to their staff or community. 

Option 2: Pay for an Individual Usage Plan. Paid plans are available to any individual user and can be accessed through their dashboard once a user has created their account.

Usage Plans

Option 1: Individuals not affiliated with a Registrar can sign up for a Personal Subscription that will release a set number of links to be created each month to their Personal Links folder. This count does not roll over month to month. Billing recurs on the first of each month, or annually.

This option works best for individuals who have a consistent need to create Perma Links for their work.

Image of personal subscription options. 10 links per month cost $10 per month. 100 links per month cost $25 per month. 500 links per month cost $100 per month.

Option 1: Personal Subscription

Option 2: A One-Time Purchase of additional links. Users with or without subscriptions can purchase additional links, which can be used at any time, regardless of Personal Subscription status. This link count will roll over month to month. Billing occurs at the moment of purchase and does not recur.

This option works well if a user with a Personal Subscription has the need to create more links than their allotment in a particular month, or a user who has a more sporadic need to create Perma Links.

Image of one time purchase options. 10 additional links cost $15. 100 additional links cost $30. 500 additional links cost $125.

Option 2: One-Time Purchase

 

Please note that subscription status only affects a user’s ability to create new links. If a subscription ends all previously created Perma records will continue to be accessible and preserved as part of our collection. 

A New Type of User

November 10, 2020 / / 0 Comments

We have added a new type of relationship for an individual user to create Perma Links under the umbrella of a Registrar. 

As always, every user has their own Perma.cc account where they can log into their dashboard. 

Each of these accounts has a “Personal Links” folder that is private to them. This folder is allocated ten “trial links” that can be made within it. Beyond that, a user either needs to have a personal subscription with Perma.cc or create links within a folder that is affiliated with a Registrar institution. 

Current users are already familiar with two types of affiliation with a Registrar: 

Registrar User = admin overseeing all accounts affiliated with the Registrar. They have the power to create Organizations, set policies, and grant Sponsorships. They can also see all links created within Organization folders and Sponsored Links folders (but not Personal Links folders.)

Organization User = account that is affiliated with an “Organization” created by a Registrar User. Organizations are like collaborative silos under the umbrella of a Registrar. Any account affiliated with any Organization can see all of the associated folders and Perma Links. 

Now, there’s a third: 

Sponsored User = account that has been granted “Sponsorship” to create links directly by a Registrar User. They have a special folder in their dashboard with no link limit that is only visible to themselves and the Registrar User. 

Accounts can be both Sponsored Users and Organization users at the same time. 

The use of Organizations and Organization Users work well when groups using Perma.cc for their work will continue regardless of the users associated with it. Good examples of this are: law journals, a professor who would like to collaborate with her RAs, or academic departments. When an individual is removed from an Organization, all of the links they created there will remain, but the individual does not have access to them. 

The granting of Sponsorships works well when the individuals using Perma.cc are autonomous, and will benefit from access to their Perma Links after their affiliation with your Registrar ends. When a Registrar User removes a Sponsorship from a users account, this means that user will no longer be able to create new Perma Links in their Sponsored Links folder. However, both they and the Registrar User will still have view access to the folder.

Let us know what you think! We’re at  info at perma.cc, happy to hear feedback or answer questions! 

 

Perma Preserving Access to Online Indigenous Law Materials

April 17, 2020 / / 0 Comments

LLMC adds more than 1,000 Perma Links to preserve access to PDF documents on the Indigenous Law Portal (ILP).

Organizations in the forever business continue to find new ways to implement the services of Perma.cc. Most recently, our new partners at LLMC Digital created Perma Links to ensure the persistence of PDF documents on their Indigenous Law Portal (ILP). The Indigenous Law Portal was begun at the Law Library of Congress as a way to provide access to American and Canadian indigenous materials at the Law Library, and has become a project of LLMC as it grows beyond the scope of of the Law Library of Congress.

Both Sides of Impeachment Trial Will Be On The Right Side of History(ical Preservation)

January 23, 2020 / / 0 Comments

This past weekend lawyers from both the House of Representatives and the White House filed initial documents for the ongoing Senate impeachment trial.

The Perma.cc team was thrilled to see that after collaboration over the past few months with both offices, their documents submitted to Senate contain Perma Links for their web citations. You can see House of Representatives’ trial memorandum here, and an archived version of it here. The President’s is available online here, and archived here.

Now, as these documents enter the historical record, we can be confident that their references to the web will remain stable and available.

As Alex Howard (@digiphile) pointed out, this is a BFD for posterity.

[archived at https://perma.cc/8LXB-UDAW]

This development is an exciting one, and is representative of the growth in the Perma network. A search of Westlaw reveals that adoption of Perma in our courts has been picking up speed lately. 77% of the 1,000+ briefs that have been filed in state and federal courts since 2013 were filed in the last three years. Of the nearly 1,500 court opinions published using Perma in the past six years, 76% of them have appeared since 2017.

In 2019 alone there were over 350 briefs filed with links from Perma.cc and almost 500 opinions published with Perma Links.

We hope this trend will continue upwards. If you are interested in learning more about Perma.cc for your law firm or court to prevent link rot please check out our website and get in touch with us at info@perma.cc.

Link Rot Isn’t Unique to the Legal Field

April 1, 2019 / / 0 Comments

Journalism – like scholarship – relies on citation, primary information, and credibility.

Perma.cc sprung up as a direct answer to a problem identified in legal scholarship: originally a tool in the fight legal link rot, and it has become a staple in the lives of many law students as they write for their journals and even after they leave school.

It’s important to note, though, that the basis of our code – literally and figuratively – is not unique to the legal field. While we’re a team of librarians and coders who work in a law library, the tools we build are for everyone.

Link rot is a not a issue unique to the law world: as we started exploring our user base outside of academia, one of the first user groups that came to the forefront was journalists, for whom link rot is a problem from many angles.

For an industry that in many ways now relies on click counts and interconnected content for revenue streams and user statistics, there are hang ups when it comes to freezing web content in the way that Perma.cc does. Nonetheless, it is an issue that should be considered as part of the journalistic ecosystem.

As you can see in this article from The Atlantic authors do not have a singular approach to web references. This particular article, published less than a year and a half ago, contains 25 linked citations. One of them is a Perma record, which has preserved a copy of a criminal procedure law will be available to readers in the long term. It makes sense for that particular citation to be frozen in time, as it is important to capture the law at that very moment it is referenced, not what it may be in the future. 23 of the other 24 links still send readers to a live source, for now. They are largely links to other news sites and in the short term having live links works well. One link however found in the fifth paragraph – which cites a study that is a central aspect of the article’s argument – leads readers to a 404 error page.

The story is the same with this article, also less than a year and a half old, from Time that has a 404 error on a link to their own website. On the flip side, in the first paragraph, the author uses a Perma Link to reference an event held at her alma mater’s church. That decision proved to be a wise one, since that link no longer works. Other URLs send readers to sites that are currently live, but obviously are vulnerable.

For journalists, it is interesting to see what type of content is viewed as stable (other news organizations – despite frequent site restructuring like is seen at Time) versus ephemeral (calendar listings).

Are you a journalist? Where are these lines for you? What do you consider ephemeral versus stable when you’re citing the web? Does your newsroom have rules when it comes to maintaining click tracking? Do you take link rot into consideration at all as you choose your internet sources?
