NSCADLibrary

This collection of browsable web archive collections includes complex web content collected by the NSCAD University Library using the webrecorder tool and platform. To find web archived official COVID-19 communications of the University, and web archived news about the NSCAD community please see our Internet Archive Wayback Machine collection. This can be viewed at https://archive.org/details/@nscadlibrary?tab=web-archive.

If you are looking for the NSCAD website please see https://nscad.ca/

NSCAD's Conifer collections include two types of content:

  • Theses projects of NSCAD University graduate students submitted to the NSCAD Library as websites.

  • NSCAD COVID-19 web archive collections that document the web presence of NSCAD during the pandemic. This site contains captured websites documenting primarily student exhibitions produced online during COVID-19, and other online NSCAD exhibitions that require a web archiving tool that can capture dynamic elements to properly restage the site as it would have been originally interacted with.

*Note: Theses files generated by the NSCAD University Library using webrecorder are deposited once complete in NSCAD's institutional repository at https://nscad.cairnrepo.org/islandora/object/nscad%3A4440

*Note: COVID-19 pandemic collections are being added and updated frequently. Theses documents are added as they are submitted to the library for web archiving.

If you have questions please contact Lelland Reed, Collections and Systems Librarian - NSCAD University Library at lreed@nscad.ca
