Also, contact the SAA (Society of American Archivists)  Web Archiving round table.  Lots of experience and help from that list of folks.
I'm forwarding your question to that list.

Subject: [CODE4LIB] Archiving a website - best practices

I am not up to date with archiving practices. So I may be asking about a well-known problem.

But anyone archiving an old website and if so, what method do you use? We are discussing taking screenshots and/or creating a zip file of the whole site and uploading to a repository at MPOW. Both seem to have some shortcomings.

Thank you!
