COLLECTED BY

Organization: Archive Team

BERJAYA

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.

Glad I took my camera....

We left Monday morn about 5:45 a.m. for our days away. I took my camera...thinking I would take pictures there. I had visions of going to the air museum during the day and going for a drive in the hours after it closed. Didn't work out quite that way.

However, due to our early start, we got to see a wonderful sunrise. Roger stopped a couple times for me to take pictures...the ones I am showing are just some to whet your appetite. I hope. I also took some while moving...and they turned out better than I expected.

I am having issues with my computer...or to be more specific with Internet Explorer. I don't know if it is temporary or what...but I cannot open either of my blogs, or The World in Black and White which I participate in. And I cannot open Strolling Through Georgia. I can however open Paintbox Pictures--another blog I contribute to occasionally. So right now I am using Mozilla Firefox, but it makes me wonder how long it will last with it. I have not checked all the blogs with Internet Explorer...I do know that I can open some with it and these I mentioned I for sure cannot. I think there were two or three others I tried and couldn't open, but I forget which ones they were.

Anyway, I hope you enjoy these pictures...I should have got some of them up for SWF, but knew I didn't have much time to visit others, so just skipped it this week. And I really hope they enlarge...that trouble seemed to have been over with the last couple of posts, but not sure how it will be now with this other trouble.
