Sitecore : Restore archived item programmatically

This short blog post contains information about how to restore archived item programmatically in Sitecore 8. Use the below code snippet to achieve the functionality:

void RestoreArchivedItems()
        {
            using (new SecurityDisabler())
            {
                DateTime archiveDate = new DateTime(2016, 11, 1);
                string originalLocationPathPrefix = "/sitecore/content/Home";
                string archivedBy = "sitecore\\admin";

                // get the archive database for the master database
                Sitecore.Data.Archiving.Archive archive = Sitecore.Data.Database.GetDatabase("master").Archives["archive"];

               // get archived items
                var archivedItems =
                    archive.GetEntries(0, int.MaxValue)
                            .Where(entry =>
                                entry.ArchiveDate > archiveDate &&
                                entry.OriginalLocation.StartsWith(originalLocationPathPrefix) && entry.ArchivedBy.Equals(archivedBy, StringComparison.OrdinalIgnoreCase)
                            ).ToList();

                foreach (var archiveItem in archivedItems)
                {
                    // restore the item
                    archive.RestoreItem(archiveItem.ArchivalId);
                }
            }
        }
