About the ranch
Our Mission at Ghost Ranch Education & Retreat Center is to foster well-being and spiritual health through this historic, inspiring southwest landscape.
Owned by the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.), with a history as colorful as the surrounding red and yellow cliffs, Ghost Ranch offers a diversity of programs and adventure.
The landscape of Ghost Ranch – made famous by painter Georgia O’Keeffe – encompasses 21,000 acres of towering rock walls, vivid colors and vast skies.
People from all over the world come to work together in creation care, to paint, to write poetry, to hike, ride horseback, to research globally renowned archaeological and fossil quarries or simply to rest and renew their spirits.

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.
