Browse for online events and opportunities near you: http://endangereddataweek.org/map/ <http://endangereddataweek.org/map> Nothing nearby?

We especially encourage events that promote care for endangered collections by: * publicizing the availability of datasets to diverse communities; * increasing critical engagement with data, including through visualization, analysis, and storytelling; * encouraging activism and advocacy for open data policies; * fostering needed skills through workshops on data curation, documentation and discovery, improved access, and preservation. Finally, we welcome contributions to our small supplementary collection<https://wiki.diglib.org/Endangered_Data_Week> of EDW resources. Endangered Data Week is facilitated by a dedicated team of volunteers, including Brandon Locke, Rachel Mattson, Sarah Melton, and Jason A. Heppler, and more—supported by the Digital Library Federation<https://diglib.org/> and in partnership with our DLF interest group on Records Transparency/Accountability<https://www.diglib.org/archives/13609/>.
