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.
Check out these latest Spumco Chibis. In limited supply we can sell them at 15$ ea. plus shipping. I know that's high, but that's the best we can do as a collector's edition unless there is a big enough demand to drive the price down. Right now, Anthony has to make each one by hand.
So let me know who would buy these little pencil enhancers!

These are awesooooome!!
$15 each?
Wowee-kazowee, I better wait and apply for a stimulus package. They are magnificent and beautiful toppers (no Eddies?), but I imagined 'twould be $15 for a set of different colored Jimmys or Georges.
I would buy a Sody and an Eddie Fitzgerald!!
YAY!
Oh man, I want these,
but $30 is out of my
range to get a pair.
I'd be willing to pay
around $4 each for a
George and a Jimmy
($8 total)plus shipping.
Hell yes.
Count me in!
Those look cool. They are ecstatic having their pencil touched. Is there a moral (or a universal metaphor) to this?
I'm in need for some deflation.
Never in my wildest dreams would I ever here Spumco and Chibi in the same sentence by John K.
I would so get one. Please make more.
Hryma is awesome and my hero! I'd buy one, but I owe him too much money as it is!
- trevor.
PS: If yer reading this, buddy, I'll be able to send you cash in a day or so. Amscot screwed up.
You know I'll nab a couple.
Where is the order form?
Hah, these are awesome!
Amazing work. These are fantastic.
Great Blog !
congratulations !!!
With those erasers, who would still prefer the house shaped ones?
I do pray for their efficency and success. Many deceivers mark like ketchup.
Cool! But WHERE can we buy them?
Those are amazing!
I would like to buy one of each color of each character. But at 15 dollars a piece I don't think I could afford such beauty.
I hope you're not thinking of using the 'Higher priced items in a recession' business model, John.
I love your toys and collectibles, but this time I think you're asking a bit too much.
Then again- I bet they'll do well at live appearances.
Beautiful work, as always.
Hey, John what if you used a mold and hooked up with a vending machine company? Like Homies or those Bobbleheads?
I would John! How do I buy them? Paypal?
Man, I love your stuff! Funniest artist ever! Greets from Spain.
I'd totally do $8-$10. I really do want some.
Well hi-de-ho!
