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.
Biography
Elias V. Coe appears to be the physician named Elias Van Arsdale Coe, born in Springfield, New Jersey, 9 June 1794. A genealogy of the Coe family notes that Elias Van Arsdale Coe moved to Warwick, Orange County, New York, where he married his cousin, Phebe Burt, in 1821. "Dr. Elias Coe" is mentioned as one of the first portrait painters in Warwick in an early history of that town; he died there 11 October 1843. Mr. and Mrs. Henry W. Houston, who sat in 1837 for their portraits, signed by Coe, were also from Warwick. Coe joins the list of physician-folk artists such as Samuel Broadbent (1759-1828), Jacob Maentel (1778-1863), Rufus Hathaway (1770-1822), and Samuel A. Shute (1803-1836), who found that a number of talents were needed for success in the new republic. [This is an updated version of the artist's biography published in the NGA Systematic Catalogue]
