# 🏥 Data Rescues 2025 # 🏥 Data Rescues 2025
In response to political threats to social, environmental, health, and personal data, the [University of Washington Center for Advances in Libraries, Museums, and Archives (CALMA)](https://calma.ischool.uw.edu/) in collaboration with Seattle-based BKS Studio, is hosting a series of DATA RESCUE efforts. Modeled after the 2016-2017 DataRescue movement that responded to hostile conditions towards environmental and climate science data, these ad hoc digital archiving volunteer events invite community members to apply their technical skills and social values in response to new threats to important data.
