For Love Data Week, we’ll be highlighting data-related resources available to the UC San Diego community. Whether you’re in the social sciences, arts and humanities or STEM fields, the Library is here to help you find, use and share data.

VoxGov contains a broad range of official and ephemeral information resources issued by federal agencies, individual officials and candidates and other organizations from all branches of the U.S. Federal Government and links that content to publicly accessible government documentation. 

Information resources available in VoxGov include social media, official media releases, legislation, regulations and a variety of government documents from Congress and the Executive branches. Textual data can be visualized in word clouds, tree maps, bubble graphs and terms view graphs. 

Be sure to be on the UCSD-Protected network if on campus or use the VPN off campus to get full access to this resource.

Users who sign up for an account and agree to additional terms of service can download a small number of full documents; researchers and students with non-commercial, academic projects can apply with VoxGov for additional bulk data download credentials.
