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.
Members' Research Reports, 2011–2018
Every member submits a written summary of the independent research accomplished while in residence at the Center, for publication in the annual report, Center. These reports often represent the first published record of new research, and as such we hope they are useful to scholars working on related topics. For research reports published before 2011, please see the annual Center reports.
