Data Hoarding
DataHoarding.org is a non-profit effort to build the world's largest index of resources and archives related to data hoarding, web archival and digital preservation. It was inspired by the recent purge of online information by government agencies, corporations and others, and aims to provide easier access to tools and information. The goal is not only to hoard data, but curate and index it as well.

The 2026 Information Stewardship Forum sent out a Call to Action to preserve government information. The goal of this statement is to bring together this social movement of government information practitioners of all stripes around a set of principles to which everyone can agree on and action items to move this diverse community forward together toward preserving Public Information and building a distributed Digital Preservation Infrastructure (DPI).

2025-02-05 — Official site launch, mission statement and indexes
DataHoarding.org officially opens to the public, with the mission to build the world's largest index of resources and archives related to data hoarding, web archival and digital preservation. Digital preservation is not a new concept, but in the current political climate, this has become a much higher priority. By focusing on indexing and curation, we believe our mission is clear and unique, and this site is aiming to carve out an important position in this niche. While the launch is low-key, the work is only beginning and the future is looking bright.
