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.

Gus Williams (July 7, 1848 – January 16, 1915) was a popular American comedian and songwriter.
Gustave Wilhelm Leweck, Jr. was born on the ninth of July, 1848, the son of a New York City German-American fur importer. While in his early teens Williams left home to seek adventure in the American West. He made it as far as Indiana where circumstances deemed it necessary for the boy to find work as a farmhand. On August 12, 1862 fourteen-year-old Williams left farm work behind and joined Company F. of the 48th Indiana Infantry to serve in the American Civil War.
Williams, who was probably a drummer boy, soon became popular in the service providing entertainment that helped alleviate the daily boredom of camp life. He first took to the stage on November, 14, 1864 during the Union Army’s occupation of Huntsville, Alabama with J. B. Ashton’s Dramatic Company playing Carney in "The Pirate Legacy: The Wrecker’s Fate" by Charles H. Saunders.
Three years after the war’s end, Williams joined Tony Pastor’s vaudeville show where he would remain throughout his twenties. With Pastor he became popular as a Dutch-style comedian performing skits and singing songs in a comedic German accent. Two of his more popular tunes from that period were, “Keiser Do You Want to Buy a Dog?” and “Dot Little German Band”.
August Joseph "Gus" Williams, Jr. (May 7, 1888 – April 16, 1964), known also as "Gloomy" Gus Williams, was a German American professional baseball player whose career spanned 10 seasons, five of which were spent in Major League Baseball (MLB) with the St. Louis Browns (1911–15). Over his major league career, Williams batted .263 with 171 runs scored, 367 hits, 58 doubles, 31 triples, 12 home runs, 147 runs batted in (RBIs), and 95 stolen bases in 410 games played. Williams career started out in 1909 with the Monmouth Browns of the Class-D Illinois–Missouri League. After playing in the minor leagues for two seasons, Williams made his major league debut in 1911. He had another stint in the majors in 1912. In 1913, Williams served as the Browns regular outfielder. He was a dead-ball era power hitter for the Browns, ranking in the top-10 amongst American League hitters in home runs during the 1913 and 1914 seasons. He led the league in strikeouts in 1914. Williams would make his last appearance in the major leagues during the 1915 season. He would go on to play in the minors with the Toronto Maple Leafs (1915), Nashville Volunteers (1916), Louisville Colonels (1917), and Indianapolis Indians (1918). In the minors, he compiled a career batting average of .293 with 838 hits in 759 games played. Williams also played semi-professional baseball after leaving the professional circuit. He batted and threw left-handed. During his baseball career, Williams stood at 6 feet (180 cm) and weighed 185 pounds (84 kg).
May 29, 1979 - Gus Williams and backcourt mate Dennis Johnson combined for 68 points in leading the Seattle SuperSonics to a 114-112 win over the Washington Bullets in Game 4 of the 1979 NBA Finals. Williams' 36 points marked a personal high water mark for a series in which he averaged 28.6 points per game throughout. At least vaguely similar to the 2004 Pistons, the Sonics arguably thrust three possible Finals MVPs to the forefront on account of Williams' scoring, Jack Sikma's 16 and 14 averages, and Dennis Johnson's generally indispensable nature. In the end, it was Johnson who took home MVP honors following the championship clincher in Game 5 and Williams' performance, as a result, has been lost in time (frankly, so has Johnson's). In an additional parallel to the 2004 Pistons, the ...

Gus Williams: 32 Points Vs Washington (1979 Finals Game 1 Game Played On Sunday, May 20, 1979
It's hard to imagine winning the NBA championship without three superstars. Okay, two... Alright, at least one? The 1979 Seattle Supersonics is one of those great teams which didn't have ANY Superstars on their roster, yet they managed to beat the Los Angeles Lakers and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Phoenix Suns and Paul Westphal and in the end Washington Bullets and Elvin Hayes. In my opinion, the greatest TEAM that was ever assembled and showed everyone that you don't necessarily need a bunch of Superstars to win. The Legends - 1979 Seattle Supersonics.

May 27, 1979 - Gus Williams averaged 28.6 points per game in the 1979 Finals as half of one of the most potent backcourts in Finals history (the other half being Finals MVP Dennis Johnson, who averaged 22.6 points, 6 rebounds, 6 assists, 1.8 steals, and 2.2 blocks in the series). In Game 3, Williams' 31 points helped propel the SuperSonics to a 105-95 win over the Washington Bullets at the Kingdome, pushing Seattle to a 2-1 series lead.

Gus Williams never scored more than 14 points in an NBA contest after this game. Though, he averaged 18.2 points and 6.6 assists per game in this series, Doug Collins's remarks about seeing glimpses of the Gus Williams of old have a "last hurrah" feel to them. The Wizard -- who would be the only player ever to sound cool on a team called the Washington Wizards -- looks pretty damn good in this one and probably could have played at a high lever for a couple of more years (I haven't searched for the reasons about why it didn't happen). This Bullets team certainly could have used some more offensive fire power and it's partially a testament to Gus Williams's abilities that they dragged out this best-of-5 series until the deciding fifth game.
