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.

Oh Christ.........
Happy birthday Gary doesn’t have the same ring to it.
You're a naughty girl but I love you anyway! xo Diana
😉 I am ashamed to say I love them all!
There was this pigeon, Joseph..
Blasphemous!!! And I am here for every single one!
Too funny, especially the three random guys showing up with gifts:)
So funny!
All good ones. And the "random dudes" is on point.
I've missed a few posts in my reader list...not sure how. Anyway whenever I stub my toe, spill my coffee, make any kind of a mess, forget something...I guess you can call it a prayer?
Hahahah
Oh, the one about the oven? I FEEL YOU, JOE!!!
LMAOOO
XOXO
Ha - very good post. Especially the first meme.
These are pure Christmas Gold!

@ Jamie Ghione -- Thanks for the link -- I've never heard this song "Jesus's Birthday" before! It deserves to be a new rockin' Christmas carol hit!
Yeah, this myth stands up as well as Athena springing from the head of Zeus.
Love the memes!
Love the silent night one and the mary and joseph conversation!
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! No wonder Spain's trains banned you.... your face is probably on "Wanted" posters all over the Vatican by now!
Ol Joey was getting cucked
This is so funny. Satire at its best!
Silent Night - often for us it's more of a silent trip down the road. I do wonder about the thinking behind this virgin birth idea. Did someone dare another one that they could never get away with that crazy idea?
Spain marks immaculate conception day as a national holiday in early December, the math does not work, that baby would be born in September.
I may start calling Jesus Gary and see who reacts the most. I suspect a neighbour who includes him in every conversation.
When I was assisting with Sunday School & we had to provide an alternative for kids on Christmas Eve, so that the parents could enjoy a candle light service without fear of the children disturbing ... I use to host a birthday party for Baby Jesus - complete with birthday cake, party hats,balloons & yes pin the tale on the donkey!
Fully enjoy this season.
Ha!! Loved the essential oils one!! And Gary!! Thanks, and hope you're having a good week! -Jenn
In my youth we always had birthday cake on 24 January for Baby Jesus.
Okay, this is terrible but so funny, you naughty lady :)
Happy Birthday, Gary!
Blasphemy! I'm going to be a little nicer to the Christians in my life this new cycle. We have a long history together. Like about 2000 years long. I will help them with this festivity, but if they get too bossy or start bullying people, please include me out of the whole thing.
The New Testament said Jesus had brothers, so Joesph eventually got it on with Mary, just not right away.
BAHAHAHA! These are hilarious!
I still love Gary the best...
ha,ha, I love the stubbed toe!
I don't know how you find these things, Debra! Hysterical! Terry knows if I say, "I'm fine," I'm anything but ~ lol ~ So I especially connect to the silent night one!
Each of these is hilarious! But my favourite is Gary!
Love the random dudes! Never even thought of that before but suspect I will every year going forward!
