Oh wow, the digital Indiana Joneses are here to "protect" public data, only to hit us with the thrilling saga of a 403 Forbidden Error! 
Because nothing screams "archival heroics" like a Varnish cache server throwing a tantrum.

Telling Data Stories with Amer...
Today, we added more PubMed and NCBI stuff from NIH:
Today I noticed a heck of a lot of 404's when I was fetching #pubmed data. Seems there was a thorough gutting there this week. Links to articles are still there but the articles themselves are going missing en masse. I'm going to continue to grab and post what I can here:

"[Wired is] going to stop paywalling articles that are primarily based on public records obtained through the Freedom of Information Act."
Today saw more incremental updates to NVD and NIH data. More on the way soon!
https://git.lsit.ucsb.edu/publicdata/nih-gov
https://git.lsit.ucsb.edu/publicdata/nist-gov
Just published a sizable update to NIH archives, including among other things a bunch of pubmed article and book data.

More coming soon!
Today we published a sizable update to the Social Security Administration public archive. (Please note that the layout of the repo has changed to accommodate other subdomains of the SSA.)
https://git.lsit.ucsb.edu/publicdata/ssa-gov
More on the way soon!
Today, we published initial archives of US International Development Finance Corporation (DFC) and Delta Regional Authority (DRA), and updated the NIST NVD and cancer.gov archives.

https://git.lsit.ucsb.edu/publicdata/dra-gov
https://git.lsit.ucsb.edu/publicdata/nist-gov
https://git.lsit.ucsb.edu/publicdata/cancer-gov
More on the way!
If you work(ed) in federal government and know of some public websites or data that is likely to be taken down sooner than later, I would appreciate knowing about it so we can prioritize archiving it.
We still have a bunch more on the way, but we prioritize requests and tips over my own inklings.

It's an exciting day for public health data rescue!
Today we added preliminary collected data for:
SAMHSA: https://git.lsit.ucsb.edu/publicdata/samhsa-gov
AHRQ: https://git.lsit.ucsb.edu/publicdata/ahrq-gov
CMS: https://git.lsit.ucsb.edu/publicdata/cms-gov
We also posted significant additions to the cancer.gov and NIH archives:
https://git.lsit.ucsb.edu/publicdata/cancer-gov
https://git.lsit.ucsb.edu/publicdata/nih-gov
Here's a small one but seems important enough - a dump of schoolsafety.gov
If you were hoping to get resources on #malaria, unfortunately, PMI.gov is offline now:
Here's a preliminary dump of public data from the National Institute of Health (NIH).
More on the way!
Here's an archival dump of #cancer dot gov, including sub sites.
It's a small one but seems likely to disappear or be significantly gutted soon, so here's an archival dump of stopbullying dot gov.
Good morning. I significantly expanded the #USDA data archives overnight.
Note that most zip and mp3 files here are now git-lfs stored.
