Abstract

This study aimed to illustrate some government web archiving initiatives in several countries and stablish an overview of the Brazilian scenario with regard to the preservation of content published on government websites. In Brazil, although there is a robust set of laws that determine the State to manage, access and preserve its documents and information, there is still no policy for the preservation of web content. The result is the erasure and permanent loss of government information produced exclusively through websites. It is noticed that there are several government initiatives for web archiving around the world, which can be used as examples for the implementation of a Brazilian policy. It is concluded that the long-term maintenance of governmental information available on the web is fundamental for public debate and for monitoring governmental actions. To ensure the preservation of this content, the country must define its policy for the preservation of documents produced in a web environment.
