Biography
The Galerie Beyeler has its origins in an antiquarian book shop in Basel where the Ernst Beyeler (b. 1921) worked while attending school. When proprietor Oscar Schloss died in 1945, Beyeler took over the shop and shortly thereafter began to stage exhibitions. By 1951 the antiquarian book portion of the business was closed and the gallery devoted entirely to art. The private collection of Ernst Beyeler and his wife is exhibited at a museum designed by Renzo Piano on the outskirts of Basel.

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.
