Archiving Web content is an important topic for digital libraries and especially for deposit libraries. Web archiving systems usually collect Web resources using search robot software and/or by human labor. However, these resource gathering methods have disadvantages: for example, it is difficult to collect all historical versions of a resource or to collect hidden or dynamic resources. This paper proposes a Web archiving system which is designed to collect resources in accordance with a resource archiving policy determined by the person or organization which provides the resources on the Web. This paper presents the model of the Web archiving system and a prototype system implemented based on the model.
