The People's Record 47 is a community-driven archival initiative responding to the erasure and restructuring of public information, programs, and protections under the current federal administration. It aims to preserve critical knowledge, especially that which is being deliberately removed, defunded, or devalued—such as educational materials, civil rights documentation, and culturally significant resources. This project comes out of the work of young activists with a passion for increasing access, decentralizing knowledge, and building national networks.

This project is more than just data collection: it seeks to center care, security, and communal accountability. It seeks to create a space where all voices can safely store, access, and share the knowledge that dominant powers are trying to suppress. The archive is also a form of resistance and memory-keeping, ensuring that what’s being dismantled isn't lost—but remembered, protected, and serves as the building blocks when time to restructure.
