Search for Data Sources

Our database is a good start, but there's more data out there. Help us find it!

Quick start

If you found a good source of data, you can submit it to our database!

1. Check our database to see if we already have the URL you found, or search for it by name here.

2. If it's new to us—thank you! Open the Submit Data Sources form.

3. Fill in the required fields and as many optional fields as you can! This should take 1–5 minutes.

4. Repeat as necessary!

Finding data in your area

Checking to see what data is currently published in your area is a great way to move our project forward, one city at a time.

1. Search for your chosen agency or area in our database.

2. Search the agency homepage and related sites for data about the agency. When you find one, make a new Submit Data Sources form submission.

3. Fill in the form for each valuable data source. This should take 1–5 minutes, and you will get faster as you go!

Submitting bulk data

If you already have several of Data Sources in a spreadsheet—maybe from a previous project, or because you collected them in bulk—you can submit them to us in any format.

1. Head to the existing Data Sources table and download a CSV to get the most recent format. This will help us import and approve your Data Sources more quickly.

2. Submit spreadsheets to the "Submit bulk Data Sources or Agencies" form.
