All Our Yesterdays
A toolkit to explore the contents of Web Archives. For more information and an overview of the platform please watch a short [video]() on how it works. Most of what AOYTK can do is built on the derivative output of ARCH and/or AUT but it can easily to modified to work with other derivatives.
Where are my files saved?
By default all of the files generated by All Our Yesterdays are saved in the top level of your Google Drive in a folder called AOY. Every time you run AOYTK it will ask you to set this directory.
Preparation
Two options are available to get your data ready
- Create your own derivative directly in the ARCH interface and save it to a folder in Google Drive
- Create a derivative of any
WARCfile you have using the AOY Derivative Creation Notebook, which will save it to Google Drive for use by the Analysis Notebooks.
- Derivative Generator
Analysis
Premade Notebooks to analyze different derivative types are outlined in the following chart. These types are based on the output of ARCH. General categories are in figure 1.
