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.
Feedback from an internal MS results matching effort. In some cases, a result is matched but details of it have been updated in some way that warrants refreshing the already filed work item. For this case, it would be helpful to have an 'updated' baseline state (which indicates the baseline result was effectively matched but something interesting changed about it). It is inefficient to consult the work item server for all 'existing' matches and comparing the filed result against current details. For 'existing' items, no server interaction s/be required. Here are all the possibilities for the work item filer:
To provide a specific example, we have an analysis that analyzes a structural JSON file, looking for bad values in properties. The violation locations are denoted by a JSON path, for example, myObject.myProperty. In some cases, a work item may be filed already against the contents of myObject.myProperty. In a subsequent run, the literal contents of myProperty may have changed (but with the result that the scan tool still objects to them). For this case, we consider the result matched (because it is against the identical scan target, which is owned by a specific engineering team) but want to update the filed item to include new details of what changed.
