Archive Corps is loose collection of volunteers, experts and bystanders dedicated to rescuing physical collections of materials worldwide that are at risk of loss and destruction.

Currently, the group consists of a few hundred people on a mailing list, where blasts out to the group will happen going forward. Eventually, it is likely to expand to other approaches, while hopefully not losing the core goal of large-scale assembly of volunteers dedicated to sane, timely, comprehensive rescue.
