Memento aggregators enable users to query multiple web archives for captures of a URI in time through a single HTTP endpoint. While this one-to-many access point is useful for researchers and end-users, aggregators are in a position to provide additional functionality to end-users beyond black box style aggregation. This paper identifies the state-of-the-art of Memento aggregation, abstracts its processes, highlights shortcomings, and offers systematic enhancements.
