Data journalism websites rely on source files that current third-party web archiving tools cannot capture, and as such they are being lost. We present ReproZip-Web, an open-source archiving prototype to capture these works. The lightweight .rpz bundle ReproZip-Web creates contains all the information needed to archive and reproduce the website.
