So you would love to help Safeguard? We could use your help, and there are many ways to get involved.

Identify at-risk data#

We can only safeguard what we know about. Do you work with at-risk data or know people who do? Have you seen articles or social media posts that look like warning signs? Request content to archive on our forum.

Spread the word#

Tell people about the ongoing attacks on research data and our cultural heritage. Speak out on social media, tell people who may not know it’s happening, or write an article about it. Talk about efforts like ours and other archivers like Data Rescue Project.

If you’re a journalist or have media contacts, let us know via email. Press coverage is invaluable.

Download, mirror, and/or host data#

Want to archive, but not sure where to begin? [currently being rewritten]

Interested in mirroring data? Take a look at what’s been uploaded to SciOp, our BitTorrent infrastructure.

Do you have storage or hosting infrastructure you want to donate? Yay! We’re compiling massive amounts of data. Reach out to let us know via email.
