The objective of this research is to try to gain a fuller picture of Web archiving activities in libraries and archives at institutions of higher education in Kenya, and the perceptions librarians and archivists have of those activities. A Web-based self-administered survey was sent to multiple listservs, and 205 respondents completed the survey. At the time of this survey, many higher education institutions had not implemented routine Web archiving activities. Although planning and testing was being carried out, these were still in the early stages. The results of this survey reveal that archivists and librarians believe Web sites should be archived, and that cost, support for technology, and lack of trained personnel are some of the factors prohibiting them from doing so.
Key words: College and university archives, College and university libraries, Digital Preservation, Electronic Data Archives, Conservation and Restoration, Internet and Web sites.
