Subject: [Libs-Or] Online event: Disappearing Federal Data

Federal data is disappearing. On Thursday, meet some teams working to rescue it and learn how you can help. Join the Internet Archive and the Library Innovation Lab on Feb. 13, 12pm Pacific for a special event exploring the terabytes of data they have already saved and how to access it.

MuckRock will host an event with organizations that are helping lead the efforts to preserve the public's data<https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_YEWblXS7Tge8ax_Io7WW8w#/registration>. In this special conversation, Mark Graham of the Internet Archive and Jack Cushman of the Harvard Law School Library Innovation Lab will share what data they have seen as being most at risk; how journalists, researchers and others can take advantage of the data that has been rescued; and how you can contribute to efforts already underway to preserve public data.

MuckRock Foundation is a nonprofit, collaborative news site and public resource that brings together journalists, researchers, activists and regular citizens to request, analyze and share government documents, making politics more transparent and democracies more informed.
