I really do appreciate awards even though I don't always pass them on. Today I would like to accept these two awards from Thom. Thom has a really lively blog called Thom's Place 4 Well Whatever. Join him in some fun Hawaiian Style. Thanks Thom!
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.

This is great, three award in one day! Thom from Hawaii who has a fun blog called "Thom's Place 4 well Whatever" Has just given me two more awards. Thanks Thom! or should I say thanks my Hawaiian sistah?
I just received the Proximidade award from Ellie. She has a cool blog called Ellie Vellie.
I have two blogs, and in two days I've received an award for each from two really great blogger friends. This one is from Bogey who is in my opinion a genuinely nice and very intelligent person. I really admire his way with words and I enjoy reading his thoughtful perspectives on life, he is also honest and open. I look forward to his interesting posts, they don't always come daily, but when he does post there is substance and meaning. So please check out his View From the Fairway.
