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
This medalist is known only from two signed medals. On one of them he signs himself as a knight. Both medals depict Doge Leonardo Loredan, who reigned between 1501 and 1521. The titulature on one medal suggests that it was made to record the election of the doge. Perhaps the artist was a court functionary charged with diplomatic or administrative functions; the awarding of a knighthood to a medalist would have been most unusual at the very beginning of the sixteenth century.
