A Look at the Tracking Gov Info Project
From a Data Rescue Project Post:
The goal of the Tracking Gov Info Project is to compile a comprehensive list of government websites, documents, articles, reports, etc. that have been removed or modified by the current administration. Anyone who encounters a missing resource can enter it using our submission form. Entries can be viewed publicly on the spreadsheet.

The project is currently led by government information and social science librarians from the University of Minnesota, Twin Cities, and the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign.

This project takes inspiration from other efforts, such as the End of Term Archive and the Data Rescue Project, and draws on the Internet Archive’s Wayback Machine for finding archived copies and establishing timelines for when content was removed.
