Appraisal
The materials in this file initially existed as web pages. Archivists strive to capture online resources and preserve them
in a state close to how they would have appeared to users when they were live. However, to overcome technological limitations
and to allow for sustainable preservation, archivists often made appraisal decisions that resulted in archived websites that
function and look different from the originals.
