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.

I've got a booklet entitled 'A Guide to the Parish Church of St George's, Hyde, Cheshire' which is not dated, but appears to date from the early 1970s. The following are advertisements shown in the booklet.
So many familiar names and businesses, Stowells will always in my memory... Mum and Dad paid into there Christmas Club, it was the only time I can recall 'drink' being in the house. Norman and Marian were lovely people who saw many of us grow up and go through our teenage years. At one time Stowell's Corner was our meeting place. We would meet up with our friends and girlfriends there. I still recall rushing up there after school awaiting the school bus from Astley Girls school bring my first love home.. hoping she had time to spare for a quick chat, and if I was lucky a kiss... I can't mention Stowell's without mentioning Ian 'Scraggy' the son from the shop. When we were at Greenfield Street you could set your watch by the time he would turn up for school.. 5 past 9 on the dot... he was always late, and always looked half asleep. I'm proud to say he is still a friend.
One advert from so many, yet so many happy memories are bought to mind.
I guess early 70s is about right Dave for these adverts as the phone numbers have changed to all digital and Croziers are are in the "new" market hall.
The price is printed on the front of the booklet and is shown as 'Ten New Pence', so the 'New Pence' bit would seem to date it to shortly after decimalisation in 1971.
I had a morning paper round with Wild's 1962-67. Never missed a day. And my dad bought all our darkroom stuff from Proctor's - they were good friends. Moscrops always came up on the "Pearl & Dean" adverts at the old Theatre Royal - "Baby carriages for the discerning"
