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.

Just a little blogpost

BERJAYA

Happy New Year to all who happen to read this after much time away!
**************
The above photo was taken December 13 in Avon, Indiana where we happened to be at an ENT's office...Roger was being tested for allergies and while we were waiting to see his reaction, I was looking out the window. He has a chronic cough, and now ends up he is allergic to everything it seems. Whenever they can get him started, they are going to try giving him the allergy shots once a week. For the next three to five years. They have an office in Terre Haute so won't be like we have a horrible drive every week.

We had stressful things happen this past month and I just was not able to blog or to visit...hoping things have settled down for a while.

Roger is only going to speech therapy now...and the therapist only wants to see him once a week for a few more weeks. They are supposed to call me to schedule more visits.
