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.

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.

RIO DE JANEIRO, Brazil, June 16, 2026 (BSS/AFP) - Water levels in the Brazilian Amazon recovered in 2025 following two consecutive years of severe drought, but long-term prospects remain "concerning," a monitoring network said in a report published Tuesday.

Brazil holds about 12 percent of the planet's freshwater, nearly two-thirds of which is found in the Amazon region.

The Amazon recorded water levels 2.6 percent above its historical average in 2025 due to increased rainfall compared to the previous year, according to MapBiomas, a network of organizations that tracks changes in land cover and use.

Despite the rebound, the network warned the situation "remains concerning" as severe weather events become increasingly common.

"Extreme weather events are becoming increasingly frequent, and there are signs of instability in the hydrological regime, driven by both climate change and changes in land use," said Bruno Ferreira of the MapBiomas Amazon team.

Brazil's vast territory includes several different biomes, including forests, wetlands and grasslands.

The report noted Brazil's Pantanal -- the wetland region south of the Amazon Basin -- ended 2025 with water levels 56 percent below its historical average

Although conditions improved compared to 2024 -- a year that saw the region's most severe drought in decades -- the wetlands region remained the country's most stressed ecosystem.

The arrival of El Nino, a natural climate occurrence that warms surface temperatures in the central and eastern equatorial Pacific Ocean, typically causes droughts in parts of the Amazon and threatens to worsen the situation.

The climate phenomenon began last week and could become one of the most intense on record by the end of the year, according to the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
