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.

Young Investigator Awards Program revised
The National Science Foundation (NSF) announced its new Young Investigator
Awards (NYI) program along with the inauguration, at the request of the
President of the United States, of the Presidential Faculty Fellows Program
(PFF). They will replace the Presidential Young Investigator Program that
operated from 1984 to 1991. The two will operate independently, with separate
nominations required.
The NYI awards are intended to encourage the development of future
academic leaders in science and engineering, both in teaching and research.
NSF Young Investigators are expected to have standard faculty teaching
responsibilities. Research cooperation with industry is encouraged.
The National Science Foundation normally will not support biomedical
research with disease-related goals, including work on the etiology,
diagnosis, or treatment of physical or mental disease, abnormality, or
malfunction in human beings or animals.
Awards will be made for up to five years. Each NSF Young Investigator
Award consists of an annual base grant of $25,000 from NSF plus up to $37,500
of additional funds per year on a dollar-for- dollar matching basis from
industrial and not-for-profit sources, resulting in total annual support of
up to $100,000.
Eligibility
Nominees must:
Be U.S. citizens or permanent residents as of Jan. 31, 1992.
Have a Ph.D. degree, or equivalent, awarded or to be awarded on or after
Jan. 1, 1986, but no later than Oct. 1, 1992.
Have a tenure-track or tenured faculty position or equivalent at their
nominating institution, or receive an appointment to such a position to
begin on or before Oct. 1, 1992.
The nomination deadline for the NYI program is Jan. 31, 1992. For more
