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.
History is littered with hundreds of conflicts over the future of a community, group, location or business that were "resolved" when one of the parties stepped ahead and destroyed what was there. With the original point of contention destroyed, the debates would fall to the wayside. Archive Team believes that by duplicated condemned data, the conversation and debate can continue, as well as the richness and insight gained by keeping the materials. Our projects have ranged in size from a single volunteer downloading the data to a small-but-critical site, to over 100 volunteers stepping forward to acquire terabytes of user-created data to save for future generations.
The main site for Archive Team is at archiveteam.org and contains up to the date information on various projects, manifestos, plans and walkthroughs.
This collection contains the output of many Archive Team projects, both ongoing and completed. Thanks to the generous providing of disk space by the Internet Archive, multi-terabyte datasets can be made available, as well as in use by the Wayback Machine, providing a path back to lost websites and work.
Our collection has grown to the point of having sub-collections for the type of data we acquire. If you are seeking to browse the contents of these collections, the Wayback Machine is the best first stop. Otherwise, you are free to dig into the stacks to see what you may find.
The Archive Team Panic Downloads are full pulldowns of currently extant websites, meant to serve as emergency backups for needed sites that are in danger of closing, or which will be missed dearly if suddenly lost due to hard drive crashes or server failures.

Organizations of all types, from small businesses to Fortune 500 enterprises, entrust the front line of their call centers to Inference’s Virtual Agents. Businesses and government organizations alike rely on Inference to streamline inbound and outbound customer communications.
Consumers are becoming more demanding. They now expect an immediate service response anytime, anywhere and on any device. They’re also looking for self-service options that enable them to solve problems without speaking to a live agent - and customers almost always prefer a Virtual Agent to waiting for a live agent.
Many companies still use human agents to do repetitive tasks. Assigning those tasks to Virtual Agents will help your organization significantly decrease support costs. You pay for Virtual Agents just like their human counter parts. They just never rest or take a vacation—and they’re substantially cheaper.
The penalties for violating industry regulations can be staggering. PCI-DSS fines can range from $5,000 to $10,000 per month and HIPAA fines range from $500 - $5000 per violation and can include criminal prosecution. Inference’s Virtual Agents can help organizations avoid violations and penalties by collecting sensitive customer data without revealing information to a human agent.
Virtual Agents have a wide variety of skills including speech recognition, natural language processing, text-to-speech, voice biometrics, transcription and API integration. They’re always working and always learning new skills.
Your agents can work on tasks across different channels. They can perform back office functions as well react to changes in your business in real-time. They’re security conscious. Fully PCI compliant. Fully HIPAA compliant.
Studio is the complete browser-based drag & drop environment for designing and managing tasks for your virtual agents.
Using Studio you can design Virtual Agents to:
Autonomously handle routine transactions, allowing your personnel to focus on higher priorities
Provide assistance to your human agents, before, during and after customer interactions
Handle high volume interactions with advanced decision automation
