Get ready for some fun coming at you this Fourth of July weekend?! DRP has teamed up with some awesome UMN librarians and @safeguardingdata.bsky.social to #SaveOurSigns Read more, spread the word, and get to taking those pics! www.datarescueproject.org/save-our-sig...

A benefit of the #SaveOurSigns campaign is we get to learn about all the national parks. Have you been to Reconstruction Era National Historical Park? It includes the Penn Center where Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and the SCLC staff planned the Poor People's Campaign! www.nps.gov/reer/index.htm

New post! www.datarescueproject.org/welcome-back... Today, we feature @webrecorder.net and their user-friendly snapshots of government sites. They worked with @safeguardingdata.bsky.social on the Covid.gov mirror. This is a great example of what we can achieve with collaboration!

My change-detection caught something big: dei.gov (registered ~1 week ago) Has been stale, then had this list put up & quickly password-protected. Hosted by Wordpress/Automattic cc @crampell.bsky.social

For those interested in the Data Rescue Tracker, keep in mind that we need to know/hear from you to be able to track where data is going. That's why we have a submission form. Let us know what you have and submit it! baserow.datarescueproject.org/form/dGIFuHv...

Because its like Twitter 2009. Here is a starter pack for data initiatives in the google doc. Now we eat lunch. go.bsky.app/6a2mbNf

Ooooooo. This is pretty ... Last night, we met the data-hoarding community. They are fab. Data hoarders meet data librarians. We have a lot in common. We love to categorize and organize our hoards.

There are mirrors of parts,for example in Alexandria. www.bibalex.org/en/Project/D...

Spoken as a historian: The efforts to save, safeguard and to make available again of information is a kind of Dunkirk (as @adwright said). But also like Casablanca. An international effort to get as much research, information and cultural heritage to (decentralized) safety. 🛡️✊💜 […]

To be crystal-clear: Topics like #TransRights #Trans #Gender #Queer are no afterthoughts, they are the foundation of the whole endeavor. #SafeguardingResearch started with me (@lavaeolus.bsky.social) cloning GitHub-repos of 'Mapping the Gay Guides' (with their consent) on January 13th. 🧵1/2

✨ final call! Deadline extended to Feb 2nd for our 4S panel "Data Loss Reverberations". As US gov memory is erased we'd love to see more work on memory, power & the politics of data loss. The call: artsandculturalstudies.ku.dk/research/dal... w submission link. #4Sseattle2025

Please ping us if you know of data that needs safeguarding! Either here or via the forum. You can also ask if we already got stuff saved.

We're a team of ~12 core-members and many more in our periphery. We got storage space and people looking to fill them with data in danger: datasets, research, cultural heritage, etc. pp. Not only that, but we already got a few TBs saved and are working on making them accessible. #CDC #NIH #NOAA

👋 - this is the official account of #SafeguardingResearch. This effort started on Mastodon, but we want to reach as many people as possible. We got a forum at safeguarding-research.discourse.group/about

If you want to contribute towards protecting research and knowledge from Trump's administration's purge maybe get involved with #SafeguardingResearch. @lavaeolus.fedihum.org.ap.brid.gy is doing a lot of work in that space, check out the link for more details. fedihum.org/@lavaeolus/1...
