About Data Rescue Project

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. We want to know what is happening in the community so that we can coordinate focus. Efforts include: data gathering, data curation and cleaning, data cataloging, and providing sustained access and distribution of data assets.

We want to thank SUCHO: Saving Ukrainian Cultural Heritage Online for their assistance and support throughout this effort.

For our project launch, we have compiled an overview of ongoing data rescue efforts and helpful data rescue resources:
