About this capture
COLLECTED BY
Organization: Archive Team
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.

Collection: ArchiveBot: The Archive Team Crowdsourced Crawler
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.

There is a dashboard running for the archivebot process at http://www.archivebot.com.

ArchiveBot's source code can be found at https://github.com/ArchiveTeam/ArchiveBot.

      The label seems to say TLC or TTC Tabor. Anyone recognize that logo? it also looks like it might be some kind of sticker, which'd make sense if it's a prototype.pic.twitter.com/0QkNbqYQCI

      The disk definitely matches the Dysan Flex Diskette, other than the label. Interesting that the recorder number is "3251". The final one says 802950pic.twitter.com/b7MvhHRDOj

      The auction does give a hint as to where this came from, which makes no sense at all. This came from the Estate of CB Wilson, who worked for Texas Instruments from 1967-2000.

      I'm gonna see if I can message the winner to make sure we're in contact, because I'd love to see what's inside this and any additional info they have.

      there's some weirdness going on with the auction. since it ended, they relisted it twice, deleting the first one, and then relisting it as "for glimminge only". glimminge is the person who won the first auction, and I think they re-listed it because of international shipping

      the seller's in texas, and glimminge is in Germany somewhere.

      which suggests it's related to Tabor Corporation, which was founded in 1982 and dissolved in 2000: So maybe it is just a coincidence? Tabor built drives for Dysan's 3.25" Flex Diskettes.pic.twitter.com/KIy2JW2oEY

          A mention in Byte from October 1984 says that Tabor was only making 3.25" drives for the past year, before adding a 3.5" drivepic.twitter.com/vkZazCkEMM

          This does add some other interesting info: Educational Microcomputer Systems had announced a 3.25" system but was changing it to 3.5", and General Scientific Corporation was shipping workstations with 3.25" drives.

          So maybe this is from a workstation from General Scientific?

          BTW another possibility is that there's no IBM connection at all. The "fact" that the IBM disks were called "Tabor" at some trade shows has a [citation needed] on it and there don't seem to be any mentions of that on the web that don't relate back to wikipedia

          so maybe the DemiDiskette was never called Tabor in the first place and this is just someone misremembering something from 40 years ago and stuffing it into wikipedia
