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.
I also take no notice of chronological aging and birthdays. Hence it doesn't bother me if I'm forgotten. I do find that others aren't so complacent and are bothered when I forget theirs.
Happy Belated Birthday, Debra! I understand. I wasn't thrilled with 45 but when I realized it was more about how I thought, not the actual number, that made me feel better. Good job Rare One!
As my sister once said when I complained of another birthday and another year older: But aren't you glad you're actually having a birthday, as opposed to the alternative?
I like your Rare One, Debra! What a perfect thing to say! I'm grateful for every birthday I get to celebrate. Life is an amazing gift! Happy belated birthday ~ wishing you many more!
Every birthday I have, I look in the mirror and say to myself "you really are way too old to be wearing all this crap" and I am, but it doesn't stop me. Anyway I've noticed I'm getting more and more invisible, even with it, so who cares. No one else does. So why should I? Sod it.
Happy birthday to you. Just be grateful you are alive. Enjoy it, celebrate life.
Happy Birthday belated a wee bit! Had I known I would have gone to the Beady Eye and raised a Goog in your honour! :) Oh The Rare One, she knows exactly what to say! :) Much love!
a belated happy birthday. You can't ask for more than to know you will always be hot to your other. I always tell my wife that no matter how old she is she will always be my young wife. It is only the perception of the one's we care about that important. Again, the best to you birthday and every day. the Ol'Buzzard
This would be hysterically funny, Debra, if the headlines here in the US this morning didn't have Trump closing in on Clinton. I may not return home from my trip to Victoria!
