The main site for Archive Team is at and contains up to the date information on various projects, manifestos, plans and walkthroughs. 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. 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. With the original point of contention destroyed, the debates would fall to the wayside.
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. 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. Formed in 2009, the Archive Team (not to be confused with the 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.
