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.

Netlogo
In this lab we use the program Netlogo which can be described as: ''A multi-agent programming language and modeling environment for simulating natural and social phenomena. It is particularly well suited for modeling complex systems evolving over time. Modelers can give instructions to hundreds or thousands of independent “agents” all operating concurrently. This makes it possible to explore connections between micro-level behaviors of individuals and macro-level patterns that emerge from their interactions.'' (Tissue & Wilensky, 2004).
In this Lab we made a simple ecosystem model for an unknown animal, by writing different procedures that make the so called turtle move, eat, reproduce and die (figure 14). Another example of a visualization made by using Netlogo is added to this page (figure 15). This visualization is showing us the human movement in large street networks (Jiang & Jia, 2015).
