Miguel Afonso Caetano<p>"Almost two dozen repositories of research and public health data supported by the National Institutes of Health are marked for “review” under the Trump administration’s direction, and researchers and archivists say the data is at risk of being lost forever if the repositories go down. </p><p>“The problem with archiving this data is that we can’t,” Lisa Chinn, Head of Research Data Services at the University of Chicago, told 404 Media. Unlike other government datasets or web pages, downloading or otherwise archiving NIH data often requires a Data Use Agreement between a researcher institution and the agency, and those agreements are carefully administered through a disclosure risk review process. </p><p>A message appeared at the top of multiple NIH websites last week that says: “This repository is under review for potential modification in compliance with Administration directives.”<br>Repositories with the message include archives of cancer imagery, Alzheimer’s disease research, sleep studies, HIV databases, and COVID-19 vaccination and mortality data."</p><p><a href="https://www.404media.co/nih-archives-repositories-marked-for-review-for-potential-modification/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">404media.co/nih-archives-repos</span><span class="invisible">itories-marked-for-review-for-potential-modification/</span></a></p><p><a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/USA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>USA</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Trump" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Trump</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Datasets" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Datasets</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/OpenScience" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>OpenScience</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/OpenData" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>OpenData</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/PublicHealth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PublicHealth</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/DigitalArchiving" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DigitalArchiving</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/DigitalPreservation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DigitalPreservation</span></a></p>

Miguel Afonso Caetano<p>"According to Graham, based on the big jump in page views he's observed over the past two months, the Internet Archive is drawing many more visitors than usual to its services — journalists, researchers and other inquiring minds. Some want to consult the archive for information lost or changed in the purge, while others aim to contribute to the archival process. </p><p>"There's a groundswell of support for the Internet Archive because of the dramatic shift that's going on in parts of the government web infrastructure that you wouldn't imagine would change," said Brewster Kahle, the founder and current director of the Internet Archive. "People are coming and rallying behind us — by using it, by pointing at things, helping organize things, by submitting content to be archived — data sets that are under threat or have been taken down."</p><p>Nancy Krieger, a social epidemiologist at Harvard University who likened the purge to "a digital book burning" in a February interview with NPR's Ailsa Chang, is one of them. She's teamed up with other scientists to try to preserve federal health data that has recently disappeared from government websites. She helped develop a list of terms to send to the Internet Archive to aid the search and preservation effort.</p><p>"We want to preserve public health data that are crucial for people's well-being," she told NPR."</p><p><a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/USA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>USA</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Trump" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Trump</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/InternetArchive" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>InternetArchive</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/DigitalPreservation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DigitalPreservation</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/DigitalArchiving" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DigitalArchiving</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/WayBackMachine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WayBackMachine</span></a> </p><p><a href="https://www.npr.org/2025/03/23/nx-s1-5326573/internet-archive-wayback-machine-trump" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">npr.org/2025/03/23/nx-s1-53265</span><span class="invisible">73/internet-archive-wayback-machine-trump</span></a></p>

But the Archive itself faces an existential threat.

Miguel Afonso Caetano<p>"More than a hundred and ten thousand government pages have gone dark in a purge that one scientist likened to a “digital book burning,” and which has proved as frightening in its imprecision as in its malice. Racing to comply with executive orders banning “D.E.I.” and “gender ideology extremism,” agencies have cut materials on everything from supporting transgender youth in school to teaching children about sickle-cell disease, which disproportionately affects people of African descent. But they have also axed records having little to do with the Administration’s ideological priorities, seemingly assisted by A.I. tools that flag forbidden words without regard to context. A recently leaked list of pages marked for deletion on military websites includes references to the Enola Gay—not, as it turns out, a member of the L.G.B.T.Q. community but, rather, the B-29 bomber that nuked Hiroshima.</p><p>Oblivion menaces every scrap of information that doesn’t spark joy in the Oval Office. “It’s gone,” Trump said of “wokeness,” during his recent address to Congress, in almost motherly tones. “And we feel so much better for it, don’t we? Don’t we feel better?” But on this front, at least, the Administration is facing well-organized resistance. It comes from a loose coalition of archivists and librarians, who are standing athwart history and yelling “Save!” They belong to organizations such as the Internet Archive, which co-created a project called the End of Term Web Archive to back up the federal web in 2008; the Environmental Data and Governance Initiative, or EDGI; and libraries at major universities such as M.I.T. and the University of Michigan. Like the Encyclopedists of Isaac Asimov’s “Foundation”—who race to compile a collapsing empire’s accumulated knowledge—they’re assembling information arks to ride out the chaos."</p><p><a href="https://www.newyorker.com/news/the-lede/the-data-hoarders-resisting-trumps-purge" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">newyorker.com/news/the-lede/th</span><span class="invisible">e-data-hoarders-resisting-trumps-purge</span></a></p><p><a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/USA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>USA</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Trump" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Trump</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/DigitalPreservation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DigitalPreservation</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/DigitalArchiving" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DigitalArchiving</span></a></p>
Jon Ippolito<p>AI won’t save PDF from itself. PDFs are largely inaccessible, proprietary, and a nightmare for data extraction (ever tried copy-pasting a two-column doc?). Mistral’s new tool still struggles to convert them cleanly; imagine misreading a PDF drug chart and prescribing a 500mg overdose instead of 50mg. Science is about reusing knowledge, so it's high time we used formats that make it easy to extract data—rather than consign it to a tomb <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/posts/jonippolito_archives-collections-data-activity-7305940793683267584-_aHF" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">linkedin.com/posts/jonippolito</span><span class="invisible">_archives-collections-data-activity-7305940793683267584-_aHF</span></a> <a href="https://digipres.club/tags/Archives" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Archives</span></a> <a href="https://digipres.club/tags/Data" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Data</span></a> <a href="https://digipres.club/tags/DigitalPreservation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DigitalPreservation</span></a></p>
