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.

KANO, Nigeria, June 13, 2026 (BSS/AFP) - Gunmen killed 17 farmers in northwestern Nigeria on Friday in the latest violence against agriculturalists since the start of the farming season, a local official and residents told AFP.

Jihadists and "bandit" gangs specialising in kidnapping for ransom and cattle-rustling terrorise communities in northern and central Nigeria, where they launch deadly raids and impose levies on farmers wishing to access their own fields.

Sources said the bandits on motorbikes, posing as visitors, opened fire on farmers while they were working on their fields in remote Goron Namaye village in Maradun district of Zamfara state, killing 17 and injuring five others.

"I received a report of the killing of 17 people in Goron Namaye community this morning," Sanusi Dosara, the political administrator of Maradun district, said.

Dosara described the repeated attacks on farmers across Zamfara State as "filthy operations aimed at disrupting 2026 farming activities."

"We buried 17 people who were killed in the attack," said Abubakar Jarra, a community leader in the village, adding that five others were injured, three of them critically.

"We call on authorities to deploy security personnel to provide protection for our farmers."

Mansir Muhammad, a Goron Namaye resident who gave the same toll, said the attackers disguised themselves as visitors and concealed their weapons, which they brought out when they approached the farmers.

The attack could have been a reprisal for the killing of 13 bandits by vigilantes when the gangs attacked the village a few weeks ago, according to Nura Musa, another resident.

Weeks into Nigeria's crucial annual rainy season, farmers across the north are abandoning their lands due to attacks by armed groups, threatening the food supply of Africa's most populous country.

Thirty-nine elders from a village in the same Maradun district were kidnapped on Sunday when they visited the camp of a gang kingpin to arrange a peace deal to allow the community to cultivate their farms.

The International Monetary Fund warned on Tuesday that the widespread insecurity from armed groups could "impact fiscal and export revenues, and aggravate poverty and food insecurity."
