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.
I'm at Padre Island National Seashore (Are you, like me, unfamiliar with the idea of a national seashore?) this weekend, and I am learning to rescue sea turtles. When I'm finished with the training, I will be part of the Sea Turtle Patrol that runs during the nesting season. We will be walking the Gulf, watching for sea turtles, especially endangered Kemp's Ridley turtles, coming ashore to lay their eggs.
