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.

An uber small 1kb lightbox
Purpose
MicroLite is a javascript lightbox with zero dependencies. It has no extras, no icons, no options, no bloat, but looks nice and is easy to use. Ideal for including it directly in your page on an as-needed basis.

It uses CSS multiple backgrounds to load in the high-res version on top of the low-res, making the experience fast and seamless.

<a href="[full-image.jpg]" onclick="microLite(this); return false;">
<img src="[thumbnail-image.jpg]" />
