I wrote about some of my favourite datasets here. Then I found some more.

  • Here’s a dataset of Nixon’s White House tapes. I’m not saying I’ve already marked off a day in calendar to go through this, but no one try to contact me on February 12th.
  • You can find a bunch of UK-centric policy datasets here. One that looks particularly good is every single question asked at Prime Minister’s Questions between 1997 and 2008. If you’re unfamiliar with the magic that is PMQs’, I recommend you watch this.
  • You can find a tonne of stuff on US legislations (and monitor everything happening in your state) here.
  • Hatebase is the largest online repository of multilingual and usage-based hate speech. CrowdFlower also has a dataset specifically focused on Twitter hate speech.
