Purpose: The present study aims to verify top web preservation projects and programs in order to explore their preferred solutions in tackling management challenges including legal, access, organizational and financial management challenges. Methodology: A documentary method was used to identify and analyze web-preservation-related literature, including papers, handbooks, web sites and documents. The programs’ persons in charge were also questioned via a researcher-made checklist. Findings: Legal management challenges can be categorized into robot exclusion protocol and copyright issues. Access management issues include kinds of accessible materials, access types, and access embargos. Organizational management challenges comprise preservation strategies, kinds of the organization in charge, the extent of the organization activities, project execution models, the level of cooperation or execution of the project, the specialty of cooperating organizations, kinds of cooperation and specialties of the archive staffs. The financial management issues include the budgets and funding agencies. Conclusion: The operational programs were found to choose various solutions to overcome the legal, access, organizational and financial management challenges. However, there still remains a wide range of problems hindering an ideal implementation.
