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.
To enable Greenkeeper, you need to make sure that a commit status is reported on all branches. This is required by Greenkeeper because it uses your CI build statuses to figure out when to notify you about breaking changes.
Since we didn鈥檛 receive a CI status on the
greenkeeper/initialbranch, it鈥檚 possible that you don鈥檛 have CI set up yet. We recommend using Travis CI, but Greenkeeper will work with every other CI service as well.If you have already set up a CI for this repository, you might need to check how it鈥檚 configured. Make sure it is set to run on all new branches. If you don鈥檛 want it to run on absolutely every branch, you can whitelist branches starting with
greenkeeper/.Once you have installed and configured CI on this repository correctly, you鈥檒l need to re-trigger Greenkeeper鈥檚 initial pull request. To do this, please delete the
greenkeeper/initialbranch in this repository, and then remove and re-add this repository to the Greenkeeper App鈥檚 white list on Github. You'll find this list on your repo or organization鈥檚 settings page, under Installed GitHub Apps.
