    Quality Assurance in the New Media Writing Prize Collection
    (2021)
    Pyke, Tegan
    The UK Web Archive is an online repository for UK based websites. Managed by the six UK Legal Deposit Libraries—the British Library, the National Library of Scotland, the National Library of Wales, the Bodleian Libraries at Oxford University, Cambridge University Libraries, and the Trinity College, Dublin—the UK Web Archive's chief aim is to collect all UK websites on a yearly basis for preservation purposes. Alongside this, the archive also features curated collections on specific events, subjects, and interest areas, often created by experts within the field. Following the creation of the 'E-Publishing Trends/Emerging Formats' collection, two further sub-collections have been added. The first, 'Interactive Narratives', was collated and reviewed across 2018 and 2019. The second, the 'New Media Writing Prize Collection'—comprised of shortlisted and winning entries to the New Media Writing Prize as well as contextual sites—was proposed and instigated in 2020. This report will outline the contents of the collection and difficulties faced in the preservation of complex digital objects, as well as detail the quality assurance process undertaken in 2021.
