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.
ArchiveBot is an IRC bot designed to automate the archival of smaller websites (e.g. up to a few hundred thousand URLs). You give it a URL to start at, and it grabs all content under that URL, records it in a WARC, and then uploads that WARC to ArchiveTeam servers for eventual injection into the Internet Archive (or other archive sites).
To use ArchiveBot, drop by #archivebot on EFNet. To interact with ArchiveBot, you issue commands by typing it into the channel. Note you will need channel operator permissions in order to issue archiving jobs. The dashboard shows the sites being downloaded currently.
Medieval Sourcebook:
Banning of Other Religions
Theodosian Code XVI.i.2
Although toleration was give to Christianity in 311CE by Constantine
I, Christianity did not become the legal religion of the Roman
Empire until the reign of Theodosius I (379-395). At that point
not only was Christianity made the official religion of the Empire,
but other religions were declared illegal.
Theodosian Code XVI.1.2
It is our desire that all the various nation which are subject
to our clemency and moderation, should continue to the profession
of that religion which was delivered to the Romans by the divine
Apostle Peter, as it has been preserved by faithful tradition
and which is now professed by the Pontiff Damasus and by Peter,
Bishop of Alexandria, a man of apostolic holiness. According to
the apostolic teaching and the doctrine of the Gospel, let us
believe in the one diety of the father, Son and Holy Spirit, in
equal majesty and in a holy Trinity. We authorize the followers
of this law to assume the title Catholic Christians; but as for
the others, since in out judgment they are foolish madmen, we
decree that the shall be branded with the ignominious name of
heretics, and shall not presume to give their conventicles the
name of churches. They will suffer in the first place the chastisement
of divine condemnation an the second the punishment of out authority,
in accordance with the will of heaven shall decide to inflict.
