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.

Latest news

28,000 new species for image recognition!

10-09-2023 - On September 5th, the latest version of the recognition software (NIA) went live. This enhanced version includes a whopping 28,000 new species! This will be particularly noticeable in Northern and Southern Europe, as well as in the Alps.

NIA is a collaboration between Naturalis Biodiversity Center and Observation.org. Since this version, the model not only uses photos from Observation.org but also material from research institutions in Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Finland, and the United Kingdom. The best news is that you don't have to do anything to benefit from these improvements. Observation.org, ObsIdentify, and the other apps and portals will automatically switch to the latest NIA version.

Enjoy the enhanced functionality!

Announcement: all observations on Observation.org

06-04-2023 - Currently, all observations made in the Netherlands and Belgium are separated from Observation.org. Our developers have been working very hard on our complex databases, and we can now share that all observations from the Netherlands and Belgium will be added to Observation.org later this year. Because of the amount of work involved, this will go in steps. We will track our progress here in this news section as soon as we have more news to share.

New: group challenges

04-04-2023 - Challenges have been added to the groups in ObsIdentify. As a group admin, add a challenge and see who enters the most observations and species in the ranking.

New: KML downloads

02-03-2023 - It is now possible to download your observations in KML format. This way, you can plot observations on Google Earth. Especially nice for transect counts!

New: image recognition in the Dutch Caribbean

09-02-2023 - Our image recognition NIA has been expanded to the Dutch Caribbean in collaboration with Naturalis and DCNA. Three thousand species have been added to the model. On Observation.org, the image recognition will now first ask for the location of the observation before making a suggestion.
