On the 26th of February 2025, I received an email from Archiving The Black Web (ATBW) letting me know I had been accepted into their WARC school fellowship programme. Born from a collaborative call to action by Bergis Jules and Makiba Foster, ATBW is providing education and training in Web Archiving to Black memory workers and helping develop web archiving capabilities in institutions that hold material on Black history and Black life.  It has been a pleasure to learn and be in community with the ATBW and my cohort, who are all dedicated to the documentation and preservation of Black lives. It has felt like I have been enrolled in an online Black archive version of Charles Xavier’s school for the gifted, and for that, I am truly grateful 

As part of my WARC school fellowship, I have experimented with Web archiving tools to create multiple Web Archive collections to support my own research and to pilot methods of web archiving services I would like to provide. Adventures in Black Web Archives is essentially a finding aid of four collections I have developed as part of this work.
