Can confirm that our IMLS docs were removed after our grant was terminated. The whole awardee search functionality disappeared. Mess

So awesome to hear about all of the wonderful work that is being done to ensure that government sites and data are preserved and remain available. Strength in numbers! #GovInfoDaySpring2025

We have a busy day today full of rescue and talking. The RDAP leadership is killing it with a data rescue event. And later, we will be presenting with @pegiproject.bsky.social and @eotarchive.org with some awesome Canadians at GovInfo Day! www.eventbrite.com/e/govinfo-da...

Hey @freegovinfo.bsky.social we are in Italian too! @datarescueproject.org www.internazionale.it/notizie/ales...

Following a loud public outcry about job cuts at the National Parks Service — and a relentless media campaign from outdoors enthusiasts across the country — it looks like the Trump administration has blinked. via @jackdolan.bsky.social

Thanks @everylibrary.bsky.social for getting the word out!

Hello #IDCC25! We are going to be in the lighting talks coming up in about ten minutes in session O in the Bon van der Starp room! Come hear us talk about US #GovInfo. We have adjusted our topic slightly from what is listed in the program... #DataRescue #SeeSomethingSaveSomething

Happy Saturday! A few of us are attending the IDCC (dcc.ac.uk/events/idcc25) the International Digital Curation Conference in the Hague this week. (By happy accident). If you are going, send us a message so we can chat about #datarescue! #IDCC25

From our friends at @datarescueproject.org today: "While the current situation is unprecedented, the focus of PEGI, government documents librarians, and data librarians has always been on the preservation of access to government information in all its forms, including data." 💯 #DefendResearch

Back at you 🥰🥰🥰

We know some of these people! 😉 Thanks for amplifying the efforts! 📣

Rapid political events have led to an upheaval in access to data & other information resources produced by the U.S. government. Within just the past four weeks, federal agencies that are impacted by these EOs have removed access to content or substituted modified content.

If you are doing a "datathon" like this, please contact us so we can coordinate efforts. We'd like to know what you are doing. The CDC has gotten much-needed attention, but we are concerned about more. Don't stop there. @npr.org www.npr.org/2025/02/05/n...

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

The central effort isn't in place anymore for reasons. But @eotarchive.org and @pegiproject.bsky.social are doing some work in this area. We are trying to connect people too.
