Boxes & Bellows: September 2021

COLLECTED BY

Organization: Archive Team

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 told you that lens is good

Maybe I should keep this to myself otherwise there will be panic buying and a shortage of Minolta A3 cameras and Polypan-f film.

Oh, there is a shortage already?

Sorry about that.

I was using the Minolta A3 rangefinder camera

The 1955 camera has a nice Rokkor lens too. Can flare a bit but I like the thing. As I liked the fine cauliflower, broccoli and cheese pie with mash at this establishment on the mainland.

yes, we have been off island

But we are back now, rejuvenated.

Surprisingly so as it happes since we ventured along the ill-thought out NC500 to visit Lotti Glob through a pandemic of campervans. The roads there are jammed and falling apart from the pounding they are receiving. If we had known , I would not have gone although that would have meant missing out on Lotti's wonderful croft and galleries.

Reflection time

Still nothing much to say apart from I'm mainly shooting 35mm with the OM1n and Foma400 at the moment. Developed in Rodinal.

So you don't have to go there

Unless of course you'd like some concrete blocks.

Been a bit quiet on the writing front of late. Not that I've nothing to say just that what with all that is going on in the world, I didn't feel like saying anything much. However, a little local trip out and a chatette to John Maher, Nickolai and Beka Globe has restored a bit of positivity to my thoughts. Having said that we took off down the Luskintyre road on Harris for a look-see and saw what what didn't want to see. The place was heaving. Cars and motorhomes everywhere. Houses going up all over the place. We left quickly.
