Today I noticed a heck of a lot of 404's when I was fetching #pubmed data. Seems there was a thorough gutting there this week. Links to articles are still there but the articles themselves are going missing en masse. I'm going to continue to grab and post what I can here:

If you work(ed) in federal government and know of some public websites or data that is likely to be taken down sooner than later, I would appreciate knowing about it so we can prioritize archiving it.

We still have a bunch more on the way, but we prioritize requests and tips over my own inklings.

Today we added preliminary collected data for:
SAMHSA: git.lsit.ucsb.edu/publicdata/s
AHRQ: git.lsit.ucsb.edu/publicdata/a
CMS: git.lsit.ucsb.edu/publicdata/c

We also posted significant additions to the cancer.gov and NIH archives:
