I haven’t slept in three days.
I’ve been working around the clock to back up over a petabyte of research data and records and articles from the National Library of Medicine before it gets attacked by that elongated dipstick and his gestapo squad. Trying to get copies of every federal research program’s data before it gets destroyed in the crossfire. I hope to God that it won’t, but I have no confidence that it will be safe. Lots of copies keep stuff safe.
Census Bureau data that breaks down the schedules of historical census records? Gone. NIH research into anything containing the word “diversity”? At risk of deletion. I am working so hard to make sure that some glimmer of what we know is preserved before something truly terrible happens to this knowledge.
Is there any way for others to help?
That’s a hell of a lot of information to save…
Following the LOCKSS ethos, you should see if you can contribute to the Archive Team’s distributed computing download of every federal database.
