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.

SEOUL - K-pop idol Soojin will no longer be part of girl band (G)I-DLE, according to Cube Entertainment, the group's management agency, in an announcement on Saturday (Aug 14).

This latest move comes five months after she was forced to go on a hiatus over bullying allegations which involved former schoolmates, one of whom was actress Seo Shin-ae, 22.

In a short statement, Cube Entertainment did not reveal any reasons for Soojin, 23, leaving the group, which formed in 2018, and only said it would move forward with the remaining five members.

While Soojin had strenuously denied the bullying allegations in detail in March, her accusers did not back down on social media. At the time, Cube Entertainment had investigated the accusations and filed criminal complaints.

Soojin had said then: "If it turns out that I did something wrong, then of course I will take the punishment given and leave the group."

Since the news broke, her fans have taken to social media to express outrage and dismay, as well as condemn Cube Entertainment for ousting her from the popular girl group.
