Librarians, archivists, and records managers can no longer be passive recipients of what they have received through often venerable programs, but must actively capture the information needed in the future. Given the quantity of material on government agency websites, traditional, item-level methods for bibliographic control is impractical. An Arizona Model for curating a collection of web publications based on the archival principles of provenance and original order grew out of the observation that the organization of websites parallels the organization of archival collections. The Arizona Model addresses traditional library functions of identification and selection, acquisition, description, reference, and access. It proposes how an archivist’s perspective can help adapt those functions to the needs of the 21st century.
