The Data Rescue Project started in February 2025 as a coordinated effort of three data organizations, including members of IASSIST, RDAP, and the Data Curation Network. The Data Rescue Project is a grassroots volunteer community dedicated to access to public data for the public good. We enable rapid response efforts for at-risk public data grounded in recognized data stewardship principles. We partner with allied communities of data creators, carers, and their organizations to advocate for sustainable data access.
