Web archive initiatives in Malaysia have started and progressively take place. Web archive initiatives from Malaysia educational institution and national level will be exposed and explained in terms of implementation and metadata uses. Both education institution and national level initiatives (which is known as MyGWA) actively collect web archive content in specified web archive repositories. The web archive repository is either equipped with descriptive metadata to facilitate web users in accessing the collection publicly. However, there is a need to improve and extend the use of metadata to meet web archive extensive usage in the future especially using appropriate metadata standards. Thus, some comparative studies and benchmarking have been made and the findings will be visualized and presented. The result of this comparative study is useful for further enhancement of web archive repository towards web preservation.
