Harvard Public Data Conservation Efforts
Currently Harvard has a university-wide guide for public data conservation. This guide provides resources and recommended pathways for researchers concerned about sustained access to publicly available data. If, as a researcher, you notice that a public dataset is not listed, please fill out this form so the Office of the Vice Provost for Research (OVPR) and the Office of General Counsel (OGC) can review the information and give further guidance.
You can also contact your school's librarian directly with questions.
