Au weia! Was soll man da noch sagen 🙄😬
Ich teile die Frustration! Ich persönlich habe seit mehr als 12 Jahren versucht, Bewusstsein für das was jetzt #safeguardingresearch heisst zu wecken, z.T explizit mit PubMed als Beispiel. Ich kann nur feststellen, dass ich damit vollständig versagt habe. Auch im Nachhinein fällt mir aber auch nichts ein, was ich ausser trommeln und schreien hätte machen können?
About US research data under threat and how everyone can contribute to saving it - @lavaeolus and me were interviewed in the TU Delft paper Delta: https://delta.tudelft.nl/en/article/saving-academic-data-is-easier-than-you-think-and-you-can-do-it-too mostly regarding our parts in the Safeguarding Research and Culture initiative at https://safeguar.de

Excellent news! We got a small amount of funding to hire two people half time to help put together a Horizon Europe proposal for Safeguarding Research and Culture [1].
The idea is to develop the SciOp catalogue software to make distributed archives part of the Fediverse, riding on BitTorrent, and get more institutions, libraries and archives involved. With a focus, in this case, on Europe.
If you are interested in preventing digital cultural heritage materials from falling through the memory hole, preventing marginalised and racialised groups from being erased from view, decentralised, federated and peer to peer technologies and have experience with putting together EU Horizon grant proposals, have the right to work in the EU or UK and would like a part time job starting yesterday for a couple of months, please get in touch!
A group dealing with at-risk educational materials is looking for help:
"The Digital Public Goods Library is looking for librarian volunteers who have experience cataloging materials with education-related metadata in a digital library environment, to assist in identifying and making available public domain and openly licensed educational materials that are either at-risk or have lost their digital home."

Hi @histodons
We ( @SafeguardingResearch) have been working on creating a backup of Chronicling America.
(1 large pull + many smaller ones)
https://sciop.net/datasets/chronicling-america
Do you know of any similar activities?
Would be great to combine efforts :)

I am looking forward to our event "Data, Power, Control – Digital Science Between Resilience and Restriction" at the @ECDF this Thursday (July 3) at 4 p.m. tinyurl.com/yd8rd6fj
We will have some very interesting presentations on #Safeguardingresearch by @lavaeolus, feminist and queer data science, and narrative resilience for countering right-wing digital dominance.
There is still time to register for the event, if you want to come by: https://events.tu-berlin.de/e/10005186_GDN
