Archive Team is a group dedicated to digital preservation | |
and web archiving that was co-founded by Jason Scott in | |
2009. | |
Its primary focus is the copying and preservation of | |
content housed by at-risk online services. Some of its | |
projects include the partial preservation of GeoCities, | |
Yahoo! Video, Google Video, Splinder, Friendster, | |
FortuneCity, TwitPic, SoundCloud, and the "Aaron Swartz | |
Memorial JSTOR Liberator". Archive Team also archives URL | |
shortener services and wikis on a regular basis. | |
According to Jason Scott, "Archive Team was started out | |
of anger and a feeling of powerlessness, this feeling | |
that we were letting companies decide for us what was | |
going to survive and what was going to die." Scott | |
continues, "it's not our job to figure out what's | |
valuable, to figure out what's meaningful. We work by | |
three virtues: rage, paranoia, and kleptomania." | |
