An effort by Kelly Smith, UCSD Libraries, to collect sites that track changes made by the Trump administration.

Tracks government attempts to restrict or prohibit scientific research, education or discussion, or the publication or use of scientific information, since the November 2016 election.

Identified steps taken by the Trump administration and Congress to scale back or wholly eliminate federal climate mitigation and adaptation measures. The tracker is linked to our database of climate change regulations and our two other climate regulation trackers: the Climate Reregulation Tracker covering the Biden administration and the Climate Backtracker covering the second Trump administration.

Downloaded and rehosted prior to the end of the Biden administration, this mapping tool allows analysis of census tracts that are marginalized by under investment and overburdened by pollution. Data and geographic shapefiles are available for download.

Efforts to archive environmental data.

Before datasets were pulled from federally funded websites, our team grabbed multiple datasets at risk of being lost, along with many other organizations. Datasets and guidances include:
The Center for Disease Control (CDC)
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
The Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA)

This checklist provides steps you can take to ensure the government data you use in your research remains accessible to you and others.

we created an abbreviated version of the CURATE(D) steps specifically with data rescue efforts in mind. In order to maximize the utility of data that is in need of rescue, it is imperative that the data are curated and documented.

The End of Term Web Archive captures and saves U.S. Government websites at the end of presidential administrations. The EOT has thus far preserved websites from administration changes in 2008, 2012, 2016, and 2020. We are currently accepting URL nominations for the End of Term 2024 Web Archive.

White House websites are Presidential records. The official files that make up a Presidential administration's website are preserved in our Executive Office of the President Electronic Records Archive. In order for the public to easily access the websites, the National Archives has taken an additional step to "freeze" the White House websites and make them available online. Because the archived websites are hosted by the National Archives and are historical material, they are no longer updated. Any broken links (internal or external) will not be updated.

Access historical versions of U.S. government websites from before January 20, 2025 with a simple URL change. How it works:
Take any .gov URL and add wayback.com right after .gov, and you'll be redirected to the Wayback Machine's archived version of the page.
