What is Heritrix?

Heritrix is the Internet Archive's open-source, extensible, web-scale, archival-quality web crawler project.

Heritrix (sometimes spelled heretrix, or misspelled or mis-said as heratrix/heritix/ heretix/heratix) is an archaic word for heiress (woman who inherits). Since our crawler seeks to collect and preserve the digital artifacts of our culture for the benefit of future researchers and generations, this name seemed apt.
