WELCOME DATA RESCUERS! ⛵

🏥 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) in collaboration with Seattle-based BKS Studio, is hosting a series of DATA RESCUE efforts. If you are also concerned about losing access to vital public government data and files, you are in the right place!

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. While Data Rescues can focus on any type of at-risk public and government data, many have focused on environmental issues given documented threats and modifications by recent political agendas.

This Gitbook is a knowledge base for the 2025 Seattle-based Data Rescues events. Open to public suggestions and contributions, this is a living document that is created and informed by documentation and literature from the 2017-2018 Data Rescues and by community-informed brainstorming discussions.

The following Gitbook pages include:
