Essay

I found an essay debating digital archiving that is shortly mentioning the Archive Team. Does it make sense to include a quote? Interstellarpoliceman (talk) 18:45, 11 December 2018 (UTC)

Following this particular definition of Daniel Seefeldt and William Thomas in a 2009 AHA piece, Digital History is not only the digitization of history but then the various approaches and methods that scholars use to make said data available for further research.. Given that, archives team certainly preserves and archives, but I wasn't sure if they engage in digital history, at least that was my reading.

I added the word online to the first sentence to clarify that these services that are preserved and archived, are already online.

I found a wikipedia article for Splinder, however it is in Italian. I thought it would be a good idea to link it for those that are bilingual and/or the availability of online translators.

Finally, i added a link to the web archiving wikipedia article as I felt it fit the work that Archive Team does and could be informative for terminology. Testierellano (talk) 17:52, 26 April 2019 (UTC)

Tumblr Article

I found an interesting article from just few months ago that details one of archive team's projects (preservation of Tumblr's NSFW material). I think it is insightful as to the nature of Archive Team's work, what's at stake and potential issues.

Warrior/Tracker

I'm working on a new section that I am thinking of adding regarding the warrior/tracker interface as it explains the archival process. I want to be as general as possible. I have started writing up on my sandbox. All of the information would be taken from the Archive Team wiki. Testierellano (talk) 01:54, 30 April 2019 (UTC)

The Internet Archive/Wayback Machine

I was just wondering if this San Francisco Library which also has as its mission the preservation of digital information should be mentioned here. Wikipedia uses a LOT of references using the internet archive as backup for lost sources. Nevermind, I found it in the see also references. Userafw (talk) 05:27, 12 September 2023 (UTC)
