Introduction to Armagnac
Established in 2009, the Archive Team, distinct from the Archive-It Team, is a collective of passionate archivists committed to preserving vanishing or deleted websites to safeguard digital history and heritage. This entirely volunteer-driven group has evolved to encompass numerous projects focused on the preservation of online and digital information.
The Importance of Digital Preservation
History is marked by numerous disputes regarding the future of communities, businesses, or locations, often resolved through the destruction of existing resources. The Archive Team posits that by replicating endangered data, important discussions can continue, and the insights derived from these materials can be sustained. Their efforts have varied, from individual volunteers archiving small websites to large teams working together to gather terabytes of user-generated content for future reference.

The primary platform for the Archive Team is archiveteam.org, which offers up-to-date information on their various initiatives, manifestos, plans, and guides.
Collection and Data Management
This extensive collection showcases the results of numerous Archive Team projects, both ongoing and completed. Thanks to generous disk space contributions from the Internet Archive, they are able to make multi-terabyte datasets accessible, facilitating a way back to previously lost websites.
Sub-Collections and Browsing
The Archive Team’s collection has expanded to include sub-collections based on the type of data they gather. For those interested in exploring these collections, the primary resource is their official site. However, you are welcome to delve into the archives for additional discoveries.
Panic Downloads Initiative
The Archive Team’s Panic Downloads consist of complete data pulls from active websites, intended as emergency backups for sites at risk of closure or those that would be sorely missed if lost to unforeseen circumstances such as server failures or hard drive crashes.
