The new publication of WARCnet Papers - a series of papers related to the activities of the WARCnet network - is now official and public. WARCnet Papers publishes keynotes, interviews, round table discussions, presentations, extended minutes, reports, white papers, status reports, and similar.

This issue is written by Emily Maemura with the title: Towards an Infrastructural Description of Archived Web Data. This paper explores how to describe and characterise archived web data by contextualising collections within the sociotechnical systems that generate that data. 

The WARCnet Papers series is edited by Niels Brügger, Jane Winters, Valérie Schafer, Kees Teszelszky, Peter Webster and Michael Kurzmeier.
