Safeguarding Research & Culture: Save public data from the digital bookburnings! WHY2025
Archives are vulnerable. Modern archival methods are robust, but no archive or institute alone can withstand the threats we are currently facing. Safeguarding Research & Culture (SRC) is creating an alternative infrastructure for archiving and disseminating of cultural heritage & scientific knowledge. We focus on publicly available material under threat of being deleted or altered. We preserve this data using open standards, open-source software, distributed storage and your help!

Saving academic data is easier than you think (and you can do it too) - Delta
Now that important academic data in the United States of America may disappear, a large group of European academics have started duplicating and sharing that data. Henrik Schönemann, the initiator, is even looking beyond this. “Universities must have digital sovereignty.”

Attached: 1 image #infosec people, THIS is big and you need it in front of management RIGHT NOW. MITRE has informed the CVE board members that effective TONIGHT, funding to run CVE and CWE is effectively gone. The US federal government contracts MITRE to run these programs including both management, operations, and infrastructure. This not only could but almost certainly will result in disruptions to CVE and CWE including a halt of all operations if new contracts/funding are not secured.
