Formed in 2009, the Archive Team (not to be confused with the archive.org Archive-It Team) is a rogue archivist collective dedicated to saving copies of rapidly dying or deleted websites for the sake of history and digital heritage. The group is 100% composed of volunteers and interested parties, and has expanded into a large amount of related projects for saving online and digital history.
History is littered with hundreds of conflicts over the future of a community, group, location or business that were "resolved" when one of the parties stepped ahead and destroyed what was there. With the original point of contention destroyed, the debates would fall to the wayside. Archive Team believes that by duplicated condemned data, the conversation and debate can continue, as well as the richness and insight gained by keeping the materials. Our projects have ranged in size from a single volunteer downloading the data to a small-but-critical site, to over 100 volunteers stepping forward to acquire terabytes of user-created data to save for future generations.
The main site for Archive Team is at archiveteam.org and contains up to the date information on various projects, manifestos, plans and walkthroughs.
This collection contains the output of many Archive Team projects, both ongoing and completed. Thanks to the generous providing of disk space by the Internet Archive, multi-terabyte datasets can be made available, as well as in use by the Wayback Machine, providing a path back to lost websites and work.
Our collection has grown to the point of having sub-collections for the type of data we acquire. If you are seeking to browse the contents of these collections, the Wayback Machine is the best first stop. Otherwise, you are free to dig into the stacks to see what you may find.
The Archive Team Panic Downloads are full pulldowns of currently extant websites, meant to serve as emergency backups for needed sites that are in danger of closing, or which will be missed dearly if suddenly lost due to hard drive crashes or server failures.

Wayne Storr has created a very good set of tutorials, ranging from DC- and AC-Theory over the basic devices Resistor, Capacitor, Inductor and Diode to Transistors and Operational Amplifiers and to circuits like Amplifiers, Oscillators and Waveform Generators and Filters. Digital topics are also covered, ranging from the Binary System, Boolean Algebra, Logic Gates to Combination Logic, Sequential Logic and Counters.
Each tutorial consists of about 5 to 15 consecutive pages which should be read one after another. The tutorials are independent of each other, but if you are new to electronics you might find it useful to look at them in the order in which I have listed them in the last paragraph. On the homepage the tutorials are listed in alphabetical order, but going through them in that order does not make much sense.
The tutorials do not assume prior electronics knowledge of the reader. For a few pages of the tutorial, the knowledge of a bit of mathematics would be useful, for example in the DC-Theory tutorial the advanced methods of circuit analysis require linear algebra. But even without this you can understand most of the tutorial. The AC-Theory tutorial contains a good explanation of the necessary trigonometry, and also of complex numbers (for a more in-depth treatment of this topic, please take a look at the resources on my Complex Numbers page).
If you work through the tutorials you will quickly gain a good basic knowledge of electronics. But if the pace of the tutorials is too fast for you, try Lessons In Electric Circuits (allaboutcircuits) by Kuphaldt - it will take more time to work through them, but they might be easier for the absolute beginner. By the way, the allaboutcircuits forum that is associated with Kuphaldt’s book, is a very good place to ask if you have questions about any topic in the tutorials.
Storr is also writing a Blog that contains some additional topics, some of them a bit more advanced than those that are covered in the tutorials. In some posts he explains questions that readers have emailed to him. It is probably best to look first at the tutorials and then at the blog, if you are hungry for more information.
