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.

Preheat the oven to 180C/350F/Gas 4.
For the Maryland chicken, combine the breadcrumbs and chilli flakes in a bowl and season well with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
Season the chicken and dip into the beaten egg, then the breadcrumb mixture, to coat all over.
Heat the oil in a frying pan and fry the chicken for about 12 minutes over a medium heat, turning frequently, until crisp and golden-brown.
Dot the chicken breasts with butter, place onto a baking sheet and transfer to the oven. Bake for ten minutes, or until the chicken is completely cooked through.
For the cornbread, place the flour, polenta, sugar and baking powder into a bowl and mix well. Place a deep, ovenproof dish into the oven.
Make a well in the centre of the dry mixture and add the beaten egg and the milk. Mix well, then add the melted butter.
Pour the mixture into the hot ovenproof dish, transfer to the oven and bake for 15 minutes, or until golden-brown.
For the banana fritters, place the vegetable oil into a deep, heavy-bottomed saucepan and heat until a small cube of bread sizzles and turns golden when dropped into it. (CAUTION: hot oil can be dangerous. Do not leave unattended.)
Place the flour and sugar into a bowl and add enough water to make a smooth batter. Dip the banana pieces into the batter to coat.
Carefully place the bananas into the hot oil and deep fry for 4-5 minutes, or until crisp and golden-brown.
To serve, place the Maryland chicken, cornbread and banana fritters onto a large platter.
