If you find a dataset for your research is no longer available at a U.S. federal government website, you might be able to locate a copy within the Harvard Law School's Library Innovation Lab archive. "In recent months the Harvard Law School Library Innovation Lab has created a data vault to download, sign as authentic, and make available copies of public government data that is most valuable to researchers, scholars, civil society and the public at large across every field. To begin, we have collected major portions of the datasets tracked by data.gov, federal Github repositories, and PubMed. The Harvard Law School Library has collected government records and made them available to patrons for centuries, and this continues that work."
