In the months and weeks leading up to the Presidential Inauguration on January 20th, 2025, Atlas undertook a data archiving effort to preserve agency data and resources that may be at risk under the new administration. Read more about this effort in our Spotlight Story.
We will continue adding more resources over the coming days.
What We Have
What Others Have
Atlas did not undergo this archiving effort alone. Many other organizations throughout the climate community embarked on parallel efforts to archive or reproduce federal resources. We encourage you to connect with these groups and look out for their archived resources as well.
- American Society of Adaptation Professionals identified and downloaded a list of high-priority federal datasets across EPA, Census, NOAA, USGS, and many other agencies. Reach out to us at info@climateprogramportal.org to be put in touch with this group.
- Climate Mirror works to store and make public climate change data.
- Harvard Law School’s Environmental & Energy Law Program tracks federal actions related to environmental justice and is collecting climate and law datasets. There is also a larger Harvard effort to archive data.gov.
- The End of Term Archive has preserved federal websites in advance of administration changes since 2008, including those from the Biden Administration.
- The Environmental Data & Governance Initiative (EDGI) is supporting the End of Term Archive and coordinating across organizations to preserve key federal environmental information.
- The Internet Archive (or Wayback Machine) is a “digital library” of internet sites including archived snapshots of federal websites.
- The Public Environmental Data Project is a collaborative effort that is preserving and providing public access to federal environmental data, including key tools such as the Climate and Economic Justice Screening Tool.
- Syracuse University is also sharing resources to find archived government data of all kinds.
Finally, many resources are still accessible through the Biden White House Archive, the archived version of Invest.gov, and the archived Council for Environmental Quality website.
If you or a group you know of should be included on this list, please reach out to us at info@climateprogramportal.org.
