COLLECTED BY

Organization: Archive Team

BERJAYA

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.

An Interview and an Award

Finally!! I received this award from the lovely Deborah of Midlife Poet (make sure to visit her beautiful blog) while we were on vacation and I just hadn't gotten around to posting about it.

Thank you Deborah! I feel so honored to be getting an award for creative blogging!! And, because I am pressed for time today and have such a hard time choosing amongst you anyway, I pass this on to all of you! Your creative blogs are my daily inspiration for my creative life. Thank you! I appreciate each and every one of you!!

Also, I was recently interviewed by Nathalie of Snowbell Jewelry. Nathalie is a very talented jewelry artist. We met on Twitter and I am so glad we did. Her blog is so much fun and quite informative, not only featuring fellow artists, but also books, recipes, travel photos and much more! If you want to read the interview, click here. Thank you, Nathalie!!

Ok, this is all for today. I have to get painting again so I'll have something new to show you, but first I have to finish the fingerless gloves, which are such fun to knit!!

I hope you are all having a good week so far!
