- Data is Plural. A newsletter that also has an archive of posts about data sets that are publicly available. This is often where I go first. To navigate the archive of posts, you just click on any of the markdown files that read as something like “2021-02-03.md” and you get the newsletter edition of that day with 3-5 different publicly available data sets and a blurb about each one.
- Kaggle. An online platform for data scientists that also has a section on publicly available data sets. You can access this data by getting a free account (you can also set it up through a Google Account rather than creating a new account). Use the search bar in the data set section to see what you can find.
- Awesome Data. Just an archive of really interesting and useful data sets. Scroll down and you will see how it is organized by topic. Click on topics of interest to see if anything is worth checking out.
- Data.gov. The U.S. government’s repository of publicly available data sets. It is a little hard to navigate, but there is some useful stuff here if you can figure that part out. It is also worth checking out any government agency that you think might collect data on a topic of interest (e.g., CDC, Health and Human Services, FBI). They might have some stuff on their websites.
- KD Nuggets. This has a link to several data repositories that could be of interest to you.
- Numlock News. A newsletter like Data is Plural, but has fewer data sets.
