About this capture
COLLECTED BY
Organization: Archive Team
Formed in 2009, the Archive Team (not to be confused with the archive.org Archive-It Team) is a rogue archivist collective dedicated to saving copies of rapidly dying or deleted websites for the sake of history and digital heritage. The group is 100% composed of volunteers and interested parties, and has expanded into a large amount of related projects for saving online and digital history.

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.

Buying safe products

The Australian Consumer Law contains a range of protections to help ensure that the products you buy are safe.

  • Mandatory standards
  • Bans
  • Recalls
  • Consumer guarantees
  • Product safety information
  • Safety alerts
  • Mandatory reporting
  • Get real-time updates
  • More information

Mandatory standards

Certain products sold in Australia are subject to mandatory standards.These are introduced when considered reasonably necessary to prevent or reduce the risk of injury to a person.

If a product is subject to a mandatory standard, it must meet particular safety criteria before it can be sold in Australia.

Bans

Products can be temporarily or permanently banned from sale in Australia when considered reasonably necessary to prevent or reduce the risk of injury to a person.

It is against the law for businesses to sell products when they are subject to an interim or permanent ban.

Recalls

If a product or service presents a safety risk or is non-compliant with a mandatory standard or ban, it may need to be taken off the market or 'recalled'.

Recalls can be initiated by a supplier or in response to an order by the Commonwealth or a state and territory minister responsible for competition and consumer policy. All safety recalls are listed on the Product Safety Australia website.

Consumer guarantees

As a consumer, you may have the right to a refund if a product is unsafe. See consumer rights & guarantees for more information.

Product safety information

We provide detailed information about mandatory safety standards, bans, safety warning notices, recalls, and mandatory reporting at the Product Safety Australia website. The site also contains information about safe practices you can follow to minimise the risk of injuries occurring.

Safety alerts

A safety alert can be issued to warn the public that a good or service is under investigation or poses a safety risk. The safety alert will:

  • state certain goods or product-related services are under investigation to determine whether they may injure someone, and/or
  • warn of possible risks in using the goods or product-related services.

See: Safety alerts

Mandatory reporting

If a supplier becomes aware of a serious injury, illness or death associated with a consumer good or product-related service it supplies, the business must report this information within two days of becoming aware of it.
