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.

Friday should be a great post - looking forward to seeing it.
You're so dangerous, Debs! I'm shaking all over!
AW crap on toast. I forgot all about this. Well, I did.
Anywho, I can't wait to see the entrants.
those knives look vicious; if I were your rare one, I would be watching my back...
:)
I've long said dont trifle with lesbians. Contrary to popular belief, they are good with long pointed objects.
Haha, oh boy those knives look scary! Looks like someone was having fun. I'm not sure if that was you or Me Rare One though. :D
Can't wait to see the entries. It's going to be a lot of fun.
OMG this is priceless.
How did I miss the contest? Not because I could top this, but because the comments are hysterical! I have to visit you more often.
XOXO
Looking forward to seeing the results and the winner! The pirate hat is very cute!
Oh, that is so cool! I love it!
That’s the winner right there lol, love it!
I cant wait!!! This pirate attire is awesome and hope the other entries will be just as marvelous.
I didn't enter this one, but I'll love being one of the judges.
That is a brilliant photo. And I missed my chance. Never do today what you can put off til tomorrow... unless you run out of tomorrows.
ROFLMAO! Very clever with the eye patch and pirate emblem.
I can hardly wait! Avast!
I love your styling!!! And I can't wait till Friday!

I love it. Hilarious.
Those are pretty kitchen official knives, there.
Long John Silver had a tin foil hat?
Oh Debra you always put a smile on my dial.
Keep shining.....keep smiling my friend.

Love the photo, Debra! Those knives look dangerous, as dangerous as the smile LOL I had a lot of ripped up tinfoil in my kitchen last night, after I discovered I had forgotten about the contest and tried to make a hat. I can't wait to see the other entries. Meanwhile I'm on pins and needles waiting to hear about whether or not Terry will go for the house I want!!! He said it was gorgeous, but he wants a deal. Argh!!!!! We're still under a blizzard warning through noon tomorrow, but so far my area hasn't had blizzard strength winds, just blustery snow. I hope your Rare One is safe tonight!!!
Very funny
Oh there will be voting? Hey those knives look sharp - be careful.
Silver hat! I forgot all about this!!
Looking forward to seeing the creations.
This is just bonkers.Sounds great.
I don't know which I love more, the smile on your face or those shiny knives. All right, it's both. I love both!
The eye patch is a great detail! I love it!
Can't wait to see all the entries tomorrow!
@ Magaly Guerrero -- I was trying so hard NOT to smile! I was trying to scowl and say "arrrrr" but I just felt so ridiculous, I ended up with a smiley snarl instead!
can't wait for the results
Well, I can't imagine anyone's going to top that, but good luck everyone!
Lol this is a great picture... I bet all the entries are going to be so creative and fun! Can't wait to see them! Enjoy the rest of the week!
Blessings,
Jill
Very nice I just saw someone else with their tin foil hat. You look great.
Is this where we go to get illegal software free of government interference?
I could only find enough for an Alice band ...
Wow! These are so creative and fun to look at! Hugs...RO
