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.
Today we launch our road safety campaign, supported by Police Scotland, to remind people driving they always need to drive safely around someone on a bike. Give at least 1.5 metres of space when passing someone on a bike. #GiveCycleSpace

We’re working with Volunteering Hebrides, CamGlen Bike Town, Outfit Moray and Common Wheel to fundraise through the Big Give's Green Match Fund.

One donation will have twice the impact. More info: https://orlo.uk/I171Q #BigGive #GreenMatchFund #donate
