I was wondering if someone has created a running list of who is harvesting
government websites ahead of the US government transition next month. There
have been a few articles published in the past couple of days focusing on
individual efforts, but it seems a lot of groups might be overlapping what
they are archiving.

Here's a good article discussing a few of the efforts:

Scientists are frantically copying U.S. climate data, fearing it might
vanish under Trump

climate-data-fearing-it-might-vanish-under-trump/


Thanks for any leads! (And apologies if it's off-topic)
