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.

RIYADH, Saudi Arabia, June 11, 2026 (BSS/AFP) - Saudi Arabia is to allow the resumption of Lebanese exports to the kingdom, its official press agency reported on Wednesday, ending a years-long ban on the goods imposed amid concerns over the influence of Hezbollah in Lebanon.

Saudi's de facto ruler Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman ordered the resumption "in accordance with the positive steps taken by the Lebanese government," the Saudi Press Agency (SPA) reported.

These included "rebuilding state institutions" and "cooperation shown by the Lebanese side in providing the required commitments".

Saudi Arabia has renewed its interest in Lebanese politics after a prolonged period of keeping its distance over the influence of Iran-backed Hezbollah, which has now been weakened by recent rounds of fighting with Israel.

The decision on exports was communicated in a Wednesday call between Saudi Foreign Minister Prince Faisal bin Farhan and Lebanese Prime Minister Nawaf Salam, according to SPA.

In a statement on X, Lebanon's President Joseph Aoun welcomed the move saying it would make a "tangible contribution to reviving the national economy".

Salam said the decision showed Saudi "confidence in Lebanon" and represented a "significant step that will support the Lebanese economy and open new horizons for Lebanese producers".

In April 2021, the kingdom suspended fruit and vegetable imports from Lebanon, asserting shipments were being used for drug-smuggling and accusing Beirut of inaction.

Saudi Arabia was the top destination for Lebanese agricultural exports in 2019, taking 22.1 percent, a Lebanese government report found in 2020.

Last week Lebanon's president and prime minister issued calls for Tehran to stop interfering in their country's affairs after Hezbollah rejected a conditional ceasefire with Israel.

Tehran insists Lebanon must form part of any deal to end the wider Middle East war, after Hezbollah opened a front against Israel in support of Iran.

Aoun, whose request to Prince Salman prompted the resumption of exports according to SPA, was the preferred candidate of both Riyadh and Washington before he took office in January 2025.

Aoun had pledged to usher in a new era in which the state would have a "monopoly on weapons", in a country where Hezbollah was the only faction to retain its arms after the 1975-1990 civil war.
