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.
let's think about this. maybe he doesn't have to go. maybe he can still be our president. and maybe he can get more done now that he isn't up against the republicans. obama is still my president!
Ooer - as am, an, and AUSTRALIAN born and bred - the 'Drumf" IS NOT MY PRESIDENT ... and can make as many wry jests as i wish (until - or unless some sort of American military 'invades' the land of my birth) .. heh
Unrelated to the post, did you see the thing Cap did with his doll in the store. It started talking to customers but it was really him? That was fun to watch. I don't know what it's called though. Anyway, Happy New Week!

Haha, funny!
I think we all did that yesterday.
yep; wish he could have stayed another 4-8 years.
Hail Hydra.
We all need a bit of humour after that inauguration speech.
I sooo understand the feeling.
We all hate to see him go - I think of what could have been without Republican obstruction at every trun.

This is brilliant!!!
Mom and I have been watching the marches all day and crying! So powerful!!!
I do like that both Chris Evans and the C America in the comics are both democrats
I think a lot of us were feeling like that when his helicopter lifted off yesterday.
A fine, studly Captain departs. In the (favorite) word of DT: "Sadly."
Very sad time
We need a laugh! I can not even believe how the first day of the new presidency went. So disgraceful. We are so screwed!

@ The Happy Whisk -- Yeah, I saw that on the internet -- some kind of a promotional thing for something or another, I think.
Echos world wide! xoDebi
