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 smallbutcritical site to over 100 volunteers stepping forward to acquire terabytes of usercreated data to save for future generations.
