This resource consists of online media collections that the University of Virginia School of Law curated and disseminated online. They generally consist of news articles, videos, and sound recordings. These materials document the School of Law's wide-ranging work and provide evidence of how the School markets itself to the broader world.
The materials in this collection have no access restrictions.
Archivists at the Arthur J. Morris Law Library captured the materials in this collection from the University of Virginia School of Law's website.
The materials in this collection initially existed as web pages linked to the School of Law website. Archivists strive to capture the School of Law's online resources and preserve them in a state close to how they would have appeared to users when they were live. However, to overcome technological limitations and to allow for sustainable preservation, archivists often made appraisal decisions that resulted in archived websites that function and look different from the originals. For example, when the School of Law media archive was too large to crawl and preserve as a single resource, archivists divided it into facets and crawled each part separately.
When using the web archives in this collection, researchers should know that these resources are not identical copies of the original websites. Instead, they are close representations shaped by the appraisal decisions of archivists.
Because of the nature of this collection, copyright status varies across the materials. Copyright is assumed to be held by the original creator of individual items; these items are expected to pass into the public domain 120 years after their creation. The University may grant permission to publish or reproduce intellectual property it owns in the name of The Rector and Visitors of the University of Virginia.
Staff members at the University of Virginia Law Library annually capture the Alumni in the News collection from the Internet.
The University of Virginia School of Law maintains the "Alumni in the News" resource on its website. It lists and provides links to articles, videos, and other media highlighting the work of the School's alumns. The links generally point to media produced by outlets outside of the University of Virginia, including newspapers, blogs, and television news networks.
Individuals using the archive can filter this resource by year. Whenever possible, archivists at the University of Virginia have tried to capture and preserve the media linked to Alumni in the News. However, many of these items could not be captured and preserved either because they were behind a paywall or they were no longer made available online by their hosts.

Staff members at the University of Virginia Law Library annually capture the Video and Audio Archive from the Internet.
The University of Virginia School of Law maintains a public archive of videos and audio recordings on its website that documents and promotes the School's work. The archive includes recordings of interviews, lectures, commencement celebrations, and significant events. Also, it links to podcast recordings and promotional videos created by staff and faculty affiliated with the School of Law.
The recordings in this archive were originally hosted on various online platforms, including YouTube and SoundCloud. However, researchers can access the recordings locally without using these platforms.
The School of Law's Communications and Media Relations Department added features to the archive that facilitate access and research. The department included brief descriptions of most of the recordings in the archive and sometimes provided copies of recording transcripts. The University of Virginia Law Library did not capture the topical filters in the original archive, and that feature does not work in the materials described here.
Archivists at the University of Virginia Law Library divided the Online Video and Audio Archive into smaller annual collections of recordings, except from 2006 to 2009. They made these divisions to facilitate preservation and access.
