Rebooting the Record Label
The modern record label consists of dedicated, experienced teams who partner with artists to bring fans the world’s best music. While the core functions of finding, developing and breaking the next music star have not changed, how that’s done today is dramatically different, thanks in part to the advent of music streaming services. It takes a coordinated global team to support and nurture an artist’s vision. We are #LabelsAtWork.


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.
