💡 News of the Day: Harvard Launches a Federal Data Archive from data.gov

Harvard’s Library Innovation Lab has unveiled an archive of data.gov on the Source Cooperative platform. The 16TB collection contains over 311,000 datasets gathered in 2024–2025, providing a complete snapshot of publicly available federal data.

The archive will be updated daily, ensuring access to up-to-date information for researchers, journalists, analysts, and the public. It includes datasets across various domains, such as environment, healthcare, economy, transportation, and agriculture.

Additionally, Harvard has released open-source software on GitHub for building similar repositories and data archiving solutions. This allows other organizations and research centers to develop their own public data archives. Project supported by Filecoin Foundation & Rockefeller Brothers Fund
