Organization: Archive Team

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.

Requesting an archive of your personal account’s data

Downloading an archive of your personal account's data

Deleting access to an archive of your personal account's data

You can export and review the metadata that GitHub stores about your personal account.

GitHub stores repository and profile metadata from your personal account's activity. You can export your personal account's data through settings on GitHub.com or with the User Migration API.

For more information about the data GitHub stores that is available for exporting, see "Download a user migration archive" and "About GitHub's use of your data.

When you request an export of your personal data through settings on GitHub.com, GitHub packages your personal data in a tar.gz file and sends you an email to your primary email address with a download link.

By default, the download link expires after seven days. At any time before the download link expires, you can disable the link from your user settings. For more information, see "Deleting access to an archive of your personal account's data."

If your operating system cannot natively unpack the tar.gz file, you can use a third-party tool to extract the archived files. For more information, see "How to unzip a tar.gz file" on Opensource.com.

The generated tar.gz file reflects the data stored at the time you started the data export.
