I work at NARA on social media and ARC. We heard about your blog post from Kate Theimer on our NARAtions blog.

We are really excited to hear that you and others are eager to start crunching the data NARA has made available! It wasn’t that we didn’t bother to compress the data. NARA IT staff kept running into technical issues while working on the compression, so we decided to go ahead and post it uncompressed rather than hold it back. I’m impressed that you, Simon and Richard figured out a solution to compress and share it.

I hope you’ll keep us posted on anything cool that comes out of your work with the data. Have fun!
