SRC and SciOp -- Safeguarding digital artefacts under threat

When the current US administration took power this past January there was an alarming ideologically motivated campaign of removing, altering or restricting access to government data and web sites, particularly those relating to public health, climate change and/or gender. In response, community efforts arose to prevent this vital information from falling down the memory hole. Safeguarding Research and Culture is one such effort and SciOp is a new kind of data catalogue and distribution infrastructure -- one that is decentralised so that no single entity can deprive us of our collective memory.
