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.

The Great American Boycott Boycott in support of immigrants and immigration

The Great American Boycott - Wear white - Avoid spending money all day - Participate in rallies - click on your area: New England New York, New Jersey Mid Atlantic South East Gulf Coast Midwest South West Northwest & Alaska Northern California & Hawaii Southern California Students & Youth Contact Congress The NODD Blog	Want to get on the mail list for future protest activity?
Please fill in the petition below if you'd like to suggest future boycott or protest activities.

Immigrants contribute $240 billion to our Gross National Product every year, including contributing $7 billion in Social Security annually. They contribute to the U.S. economy $25 billion more than they receive in healthcare and other social services. The anti-immigrant politicians and hatemongers say, 'immigrants are a drain on society.' It's time to prove them wrong. It's time to make our voices heard, in support of immigrants and in support of immigration.

The nationwide coalition of pro-immigrant groups is calling for a general strike, a boycott to show the economic power of immigrants and their supporters, and to show the political power of our combined voices. The basics of the boycott:

No Work, No School, No Sales, and No Buying.

There will be rallies around symbols of economic trade in your area (stock exchanges, anti-immigrant corporations, and other public places). Wear white as the symbol of unity. And avoid as much spending as you can on Monday, May 1.

Together, a million voices will be heard, and will make a difference. We believe with numbers we have power, the power currently necessary to keep the pressure on the White House to propose provisions that are just and fair for all immigrants.

If the anti-immigrant politicians and hatemongers are right, that 'immigrants are a drain on society,' the stock market will surge, and the economy will boom. If not, we prove them wrong once and for all. We know what will happen!

We will settle for nothing less than full amnesty and dignity for the millions of undocumented workers presently in the U.S. We believe that increased enforcement is a step in the wrong direction and will only serve to facilitate more tragedies along the Mexican-U.S. border in terms of deaths and family separation.

Not One Damn Dime supports the Great American Boycott. The news reports leading up to May 1 have emphasized the 'split' among organizers. There is no split -- all pro-immigrant groups support a large-scale protest on May 1. Many groups differ on tactics, especially whether it's effective to avoid work and school on May 1. But all groups are unified in support of recognition of the contribution of immigrants, and in support of improving immigrant rights.

We recommend you do what you can on Monday, May 1st. Stay home from work or school if you feel that will be effective. If you go to work, wear white, to show solidarity. Avoid spending as much as possible. Attend rallies in your area. If nothing else, wear a white armband, so people will ask about it, and you can spread the word about the Great American Boycott.

Read more in the press about the protest activities and nationwide impact below. Then click on the link for your part of the country in the list above, to find where rallies are being held. And spread the word that 'All People Are Legal.'

The first Not One Damn Dime Day garnered participation by several million people, and our voices were heard by tens of millions more, protesting conservative Republican policies. The May 1st protest focuses on immigration policies, and we support the method of economic boycott, as well as the goals of immigration reform in favor of more immigration rights.
