Save Data
From the Library of Alexandria to the famous Nazi burning of the Institut für Sexualwissenschaft, lost knowledge carries a special despair. Since Trump took office the administration has razing knowledge from decades of climate data to NASA’s Goddard library, on the chopping block for its land. The Data Rescue Project exists to save what we can.
How to do it:
The Data Rescue Project is housed internationally and received initial set-up support from Ukrainian data rescue groups. As you might guess, it’s incredibly well organized with opportunities to directly help, as well as needing funds for servers, IT, etc. They also maintain a list of already-saved data and ask for submissions for at-risk data.
