The SCU Government Information research guide provides guidance on how to access government information on the federal government, California, and Bay Area levels.
This research guide has a different focus. Since the start of the new Trump administration, hundreds of federal data sets and government websites have gone offline without warning, sometimes returning with major changes and sometimes not returning at all. This guide will focus upon what is happening currently and efforts by many organizations to archive and preserve federal government information.
Many of the changes in government information availability are aligned with Project 2025 (see link at left). If you want a better understanding of what information might disappear or be changed going forward, reading the document might provide a good roadmap.
