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 https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/energy-environment/

climate-data-fearing-it-might-vanish-under-trump/
Thanks for any leads! (And apologies if it's off-topic)
