Working with ARCHIVE.ORG
The Internet Archive has enormous resources at its disposal, and shares many parallel goals with Archive Team. There are some advantages to making as much of Archive Team's data saves available to ARCHIVE.ORG, especially as regards the Wayback Machine, a mechanism to be able to browse older web materials going back years. Where possible, Archive Team works with ARCHIVE.ORG, and get the love going.
Headers and Logs
The most striking difference between Archive Team and ARCHIVE.ORG is that while Archiveteam traditionally considers header and logging information to be a nice hat trick if you have the time, ARCHIVE.ORG absolutely needs it to import into their Wayback Machine.

The Archive.org "Archiveteam" Collection

Historical content
This page or section is not really edited any more, probably because the project got abandoned, information is collected somewhere else in a different form etc. However, this is a good and important record of ArchiveTeam's ancient times, thus must be preserved, but merging it into an other article would be difficult and/or some pieces of information are missing for a new form. So feel free to read this, but it has probably nothing to be added now. However, if you resurrect the project or find a way to move this data to a fresh place, you can remove this template. |
Archive.org currently has an Archive Team Collection, which consists of site-grabs, older archives, and various rips/mass downloads from websites and Archive Team activities. Right now, that collection is primarily administered by Jason Scott — sending him e-mail at jason@textfiles.com with something you think that collection should have is probably the best way to go about things.
