COLLECTED BY

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.

Collection: ArchiveBot: The Archive Team Crowdsourced Crawler

ArchiveBot is an IRC bot designed to automate the archival of smaller websites (e.g. up to a few hundred thousand URLs). You give it a URL to start at, and it grabs all content under that URL, records it in a WARC, and then uploads that WARC to ArchiveTeam servers for eventual injection into the Internet Archive (or other archive sites).

To use ArchiveBot, drop by #archivebot on EFNet. To interact with ArchiveBot, you issue commands by typing it into the channel. Note you will need channel operator permissions in order to issue archiving jobs. The dashboard shows the sites being downloaded currently.

There is a dashboard running for the archivebot process at http://www.archivebot.com.

ArchiveBot's source code can be found at https://github.com/ArchiveTeam/ArchiveBot.

HI everyone. I have finaly been authorized to go on-line with the CP/M
web page. It will officialy be known as the "unofficial CP/M web
page". Now, I need to secure a host for it. I will be starting to
write the HTML for it this week I have all the files I need to begin,
INCLUDING SOME IF THE ORIGINAL SOURCE CODE.

When I get the web page up, Caldera will put a pointer to it on their
web page. They will host the "official" CP/M web page, but it will
probably only have CP/M 2.2, and CP/M 3. I have agreed to maintain the
bulk of the code on my site.

I don't have manuals for all of what I've got, but I am going to post
everything anyway, and hope that the manuals will come in some day.

So, if you can host the "unofficial CP/M web site", please email me
and let's talk.

Tnx,
timol...@cyberramp.net

Sounds great! Can you you give an estimate of how many MB will be
needed?

At present the file tree is at about 6.5MB. I plan on adding more
software to it as I get it, and I'm in the process of putting the
manuals in Adobe Acrobat format, which are some very large files. I
anticipate 25 - 30MB before its' all done.
