Hi all, The data rescue project (https://www.datarescueproject.org/) has been working with Safeguarding Research and Culture and librarians at University of Minnesota on a campaign to create a crowdsourced archive of national park service site signs. We have been gathering photos through the summer at saveoursigns.org and have reached 4500+ photos! However, we are nearing the deadline imposed in Trump's executive order for signs to be modified: September 17, 2025. So, we are hoping to get people out over this labor day weekend to take photos in the national parks to finish strong! You can find more information here: https://www.datarescueproject.org/save-our-signs-lets-get-it-done/. If you are in the NYC area, I and another DRP member will also be hosting an in person even on Saturday in Manhattan to cover some of the NPS sites in Manhattan. You can register for that here: https://lu.ma/w7cfkk26. Thank you!
