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.

Shalom
Tonight is the first night of Hanukkah. Tonight the first candle will be lit. Best wishes to everyone who celebrates the ancient miracle and blessing of enduring light!
I live in a neighborhood which is half Jewish and half Christian. A few years back Hanukkah and Christmas fell at the same time, and I cannot begin to describe the beauty of the neighborhood that year...one house with the Hanukkah candles and the next decorated for Christmas. There wasn't a house without a decoration. Mary
Yes, Happy Hanukkah to my Jewish friends! (And to everyone!) The first Hebrew word I learned was Shalom. When I was a kid, I learned it from this sweet little old Jewish man who owned a pizzaria.
Every Sunday evening, I would pop into his pizzaria to get a pizza, and every week he would test me on different Hebrew words. Imagine that? The son of a Baptist minister being taught a completely different view of religion. It was wonderful.
We're about to go downstairs (better late than never) and light our menorah. Our Yule tree is already up and blazing...
Since I come from Jewish roots and Matt from Catholic, we celebrate everything but Kwanzaa...and we'd do that one too if we had African-American roots!
Mozeltoff! I lived for many years with a wonderful Jewish community around me. I miss that!! The other day shopping my DH and I spied a couple and the husband was wearing a yamaka...I wanted to hug them!!I didn't ..but wonderful to see! Hugs, Sarah
