Data

Where'd My Data Go?

Data has recently been removed from many U.S. federal government websites. Most of this data is still available from other data archives that are not part of the federal government. If the data that you need can no longer be found on its former U.S. federal government website, please look for it in the sources below. If you can't find it there, please contact Julia Bauder, who may be able to help you access it via other methods.

  • The Wayback Machine (excellent for data that was made available via bulk file downloads; does not archive data that was only available via an interactive GUI)
  • Data Lumos (part of ICPSR; best bet for anything the Wayback Machine doesn't have)
  • Public Environmental Data Project
  • IPUMS (microdata from many U.S. federal government surveys)

Additional sources for archived U.S. federal data can be found via the Data Rescue Project.
