Because we wondered: How could browser-based playback of web archives shift how people access collections of preserved web content?

Experimental proxy and wrapper boilerplate for safely and efficiently embedding Web Archives (.warc, .warc.gz, .wacz) into web pages.

This implementation:

  • Wraps Webrecorder’s replayweb.page client-side playback technology.
  • Serves, proxies and caches web archive files using NGINX.
  • Allows for two-way communication between the embedding website and the embedded archive using post messages.
