Poster: Quality Assurance For Born-Digital Interactive Narratives: The New Media Writing Prize Collection As A Case Study

Abstract

The UK Legal Deposit Libraries have been researching and building experimental collections of emerging formats for the past five years, including curated collections of web-based interactive narratives in the UK Web Archive. The New Media Writing Prize Collection is one of such collections, created using web archiving tools to capture instances of the online interactive works that were shortlisted or won the Prize since its launch. This poster briefly outlines the collection, and focuses on the quality assurance criteria adopted to assess the quality of the captures. These were the result of a short PhD Placement at the British Library and they expand on technical criteria to include considerations on the narrative and literary quality of digital interactive publications.
