title: Vanished: Preserving the Carmichael Watson Project Website Offline Using Webrecorder
creators: Sara Thomson Anisa Hawes
abstract: In 2021, the Carmichael Watson project website — a highly valued resource of Gaelic culture, culminating in an investment of over £750,000 — faced imminent termination. This case study details how this project website, only online from 2013 until 2018, came to imminent risk of permanent loss. It then presents the strategy undertaken to transform it into a more sustainable format through web archiving and to revive its public accessibility.
