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.

“Out of this, the bank has plans to provide the largest amount of agricultural loans to the farmers of Rangpur division compared to other regions of the country to further boost agricultural production,” he said.

Janata Bank PLC's Rangpur Divisional General Manager Abdul Barek Chowdhury presided over the conference.

“An initiative has been taken to provide loans to farmers on easy terms to further strengthen the agriculture-based economy. At the same time, loan distribution activities for new entrepreneurs will also be expanded,” he said. 

Emphasis is being placed on digitalization to make banking services more modern and accessible. 

He said that defaulted loans are a big challenge in the country's banking sector and economy. 
 
The present government and Bangladesh Bank have taken various steps to recover money from big defaulters including Beximco Group, S Alam Group and Anon Tex Group. 
 
Besides, initiatives have been taken to auction collateral against loans, initiate legal proceedings and bring back money laundered abroad. 

In this regard, he said that agreements have already been signed with 11 international law firms to identify and recover money laundered abroad. 

“In the meantime, it has also been possible to identify information about the assets of two organizations abroad,” he said.
