Update. Kudos to the Northwestern University Libraries for training people to take part in the #DataRescueProject. Other #libraries should follow suit.

Update. "ERICA is a rescue catalog which preserves over 500,000 Open Access publications originally hosted by the US Department of Education in the #ERIC research repository. ERIC was defunded on the 23 April 2025 and the maintenance contract is set to expire soon, meaning that ERIC is likely to shut down. The PDFs were rescued using the Internet Archive's #WaybackMachine by a volunteer of the #DataRescueProject. When you click on one of the publication ID links, you will be redirected to the archived PDF in the the Wayback Machine. Feel free to host your own copy of ERICA by simply cloning this source code repo, which also includes the metadata for the catalog."

If anyone is looking for the old govt websites before they were destroyed by the Trump administration this site (among others, I'm sure) has them: govarchive.us

Brachial lässt Donald Trump Inhalte von Behörden löschen, die nicht seiner rechtsradikalen Ideologie entsprechen. Im #DataRescueProject archivieren Hunderte Freiwillige, was Trump vernichten will – und mittendrin ist ein Historiker aus Köln.

‹‹Pour résister à cet effacement massif, un groupe d’une dizaine de volontaires se sont réunis au sein du projet « Data Rescue Project ». Leur mission : archiver le Web et les ressources publiques pour les transmettre aux documentalistes des universités américaines. Mais le travail est titanesque.››

"Lynda Kellam, a social scientist and data librarian,…who’s served in leadership positions at two Ivy League universities, described the vulnerable data as “irreplaceable.”…Kellam told me that she’d participated in a small data-preservation effort during Trump’s first term, but had never seen anything like the frenzy that ignited in late January, when the #CDC began removing information from its website. Kellam was encouraged, but worried about a lack of coördination. What if the backups languished on private hard drives? What if archivists duplicated one another’s work? She created a Google Doc to centralize information about preëxisting initiatives—an archive of archives, with detailed instructions on how to contribute to each…Kellam met with the heads of other data-librarian organizations, and together they founded the #DataRescueProject."

"The Data Rescue Project is a coordinated effort among a group of data organizations, including IASSIST, RDAP, and members of 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."
