In this paper, we suggest adjustments to best practices for persistent web referencing; adjustments that aim at preservation and long time accessibility of web referenced resources in general, but with focus on web references in web archives. Web referencing is highly relevant and crucial for various research fields, since an increasing number of references point to resources that only exist on the web. However, present practices using URL and date reference cannot be regarded as persistent due to the volatile nature of the Internet, - and present practices for references to web archives only refer to archive URLs which depends on the web archives access implementations. A major part of the suggested adjustments is a new web reference standard for archived web references (called wPID), which is a supplement to the current practices. The purpose of the standard is to support general, global, sustainable, humanly readable and technology agnostic persistent web references that are not sufficiently covered by existing practices. Furthermore, it can support better practices for precise references in spite of the temporality issues for web material as well as issues related to closed web archives. In order to explain needed change of practices based on the wPID, the paper includes a thorough description of the challenges in web references. This description is based on the perspectives from computer science, web collection and Digital Humanities.

The Danish assembling magazine ta’ BOX can be seen as a continuation of the Danish magazine ta’ (1967–1968). It consisted of transparent plastic bags, which constituted an open-ended and un-edited frame for the widely heterogeneous content. In many ways ta’ BOX responded to the ongoing transformation of the aesthetic field and the youth movement and student revolt of 1968, by trying to break down the barriers between the elevated and rarefied fine arts, on the one hand, and ordinary, everyday life on the other. In principle, the editorial structure allowed everybody to participate. However, the contributors were almost exclusively from Danish avant-garde circles or those active within the youth and student revolt movements.

Arena Sub-Pub, an initiative organized by the Arena publishing house, made printing devices available to (theoretically) everyone. This idea of autonomy, this do-it-yourself-philosophy, this institutional critique as well as the creation of autonomous spaces, grew directly out of the ideas of democratisation of the arts in the 1960s, but Arena Sub-Pub could also be regarded as a consequence of the crisis in the Danish publishing industry in the late 1960s, which resulted in a lack of desire to publish new authors from the younger generation.

The short life of the magazine mak was heavily influenced by the growing political orientation of the aesthetic field. The editorial board, consisting of prominent authors and critics from the younger generation, were influenced by the schism between literary experiments and the call for a more direct political involvement. In some aspects the avant-garde poetics of the magazine ta’ (1967–1968) were continued, but in mak there was also a rediscovery of the avant-gardes of the 1910s and 1920s, and of dadaism and surrealism, as well as left-wing politics and Eastern philosophy and religions, such as Buddhism.
