    The Data Rescue Project started in February 2025 as a coordinated effort of three data organizations, including members of IASSIST, RDAP, and the Data Curation Network.

    Our goal is to serve as a clearinghouse for data rescue-related efforts and data access points for public US governmental data that are currently at risk. We want to know what is happening in the community so that we can coordinate focus. Efforts include: data gathering, data curation and cleaning, data cataloging, and providing sustained access and distribution of data assets.

  • U.S. government websites may remove or reorganize publicly available content due to changes in administration, agency restructuring, website redesigns, or other archival practices. When this happens, previously accessible reports, datasets, or publications may no longer be available at their original URLs.

    This page provides guidance for those seeking such materials. There are a number of trusted archives and repositories maintained by libraries, research institutions, and nonprofit organizations that aim to preserve continued access to government information.

  • We’ve built this project on our long-standing commitment to preserving government records and making public information available to everyone. Libraries play an essential role in safeguarding the integrity of digital information. By preserving detailed metadata and establishing digital signatures for authenticity and provenance, we make it easier for researchers and the public to cite and access the information they need over time.

    Climate Mirror is a distributed effort conducted by volunteers, in conjunction with efforts from institutions such as University of Pennsylvania, University of Toronto, and the Internet Archive, to mirror and back up U.S. Federal Climate Data. It started pre-emptively out of concerns based on President Trump's past anti-science statements, and has continued into his administration's time in office.
