US Government Social Media Archive

May 28, 2019

Library of Congress, hello, LOC, are you there? What about other US government agencies? Do you have these data?

Maybe not?

I read “U.S. Navy Creating a 350 Billion Record Social Media Archive” and there is not one word about the Library of Congress. The US Navy wants to build a social media collection. Based on the sketchy information available, the content scope will include:

  • Messages from 200 million unique users (about 30 percent of social media users)
  • Time window: July 1, 2014, to December 31, 2016
  • 100 languages
  • Metadata (date, time, location, etc.).

The RFP is located on FedBizOps.
