Does Virginia Web Archive have technical limitations?

The Virginia Web Archive includes Web sites, documents, images, audio and video files and other items available when domains are crawled. Not included in Web crawls are certain databases and search-related items that require user input. In some cases broken pages, missing graphics and distorted text may exist due to limitations inherent to Web crawling software. Some things that make archiving Web sites difficult are robots.txt, Javascript, server side image maps, and links to external Web sites that are not part of a particular archival collection.
