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.

Yes, I still have many physical books
Sim, ainda possuo muitos livros em papel
Livros em papel vs eBooks
Os livros
físicos têm um impacto mais negativo no meio ambiente do que os e-books? A minha
resposta seria sim. Mas a realidade não é assim tão simples. Depende de quantos
livros se lê num eReader – Kindle, Kobo e outros dispositivos como tablets,
ipads, telemóveis.
“A produção de
eReaders consome muito mais carbono do que os livros em papel. No entanto, alguns estudos indicam que precisamos
de ler entre 22 e 100 livros num eReader para ter um comportamento mais
aceitável do ponto de vista ambiental do
que simplesmente ler livros impressos.”
Yes!!!! Pertenço
a este grupo!!
Physical books vs eBooks
Do physical books have a more negative impact on the
environment than the eBooks? My answer would be yes. But this is not a simple
matter. It depends on how many books one reads on an eReader – Kindle, Kobo and
other devices like tablets, ipads, mobile phones.
“eReaders take a lot more carbon to produce than
books, so studies indicate you need to read between 22 and 100 books on an
eReader to be more environmentally conscious than simply reading hard copy
books.”
Yes!!!! That’s me. I'm in that group!
Qual foi a
região da França que inventou a French Toast – rabanadas/fatias douradas?
Os franceses não inventaram a French Toast, mas sim os americanos que lhe deram este nome, porque os imigrantes franceses na América popularizaram o prato. Na verdade, a French toast foi inventada muito antes de a França existir. A primeira receita registada, que se conhece, da French toast tem origem em Roma por volta de 300 d.C. O autor romano Apício incluiu-a no seu livro de receitas intitulado "Cozinhar e Jantar na Roma Imperial". Durante séculos, os próprios franceses chamaram este prato de "Pão Romano". Hoje, a French toast é conhecida na maior parte do mundo. Conforme explicado pelo FoodReference.com, a receita foi vista como uma boa forma de aproveitar o pão duro sem desperdiçá-lo. Por esta razão, muitos países hoje se referem a este prato como “pão perdido".
French Toast (rabanadas or fatias douradas in
Portuguese) is a typical Christmas sweet in Portugal
What part of France invented French toast?
The
French did not invent French toast. Rather, it was Americans who gave the name
"French Toast" to this dish because French immigrants in America
popularized the dish. In fact, French toast was invented long before France
even existed. The first known recorded recipe for French toast comes from Rome
around 300 A.D. The Roman author Apicius included it in his cookbook titled
"Cooking and Dining in Imperial Rome". For
centuries, the French themselves called this dish "Roman Bread".
Today, French toast has spread to much of the world. As explained by FoodReference.com, the recipe was seen as a
good way to make use of stale bread without wasting it. For this reason, many
countries today refer to this dish as "lost bread".

O autor conta-nos a história de Stéphane Breitwieser que roubou peças de arte no valor de US$ 2
bilhões no espaço de sete ou oito anos. Não usou violência para praticar estes
roubos nem foi por dinheiro, mas pelo grande amor e obsessão pela arte.
The author tells us the story about Stéphane
Breitwieser who stole from some 200 museums, taking art worth an estimated
total of US$2 billion. He never sold anything he stole. “His sole motivation
for stealing was aesthetic attraction.”
Este quadro de
François Boucher (1750) - "Pastor Adormedcido" - foi roubado por Stéphane Breitweiser do Musei das Belas
Artes de Chartres em França.
