Looking for archives of experimental data

[anhinga_anhinga]

I am trying to find archives of experimental raw data, such as logs from instruments measuring speed of certain chemical reactions, logs from radioactivity counters, etc..

People are writing a lot about Open Data, but the links to the actual archives of experimental data, especially archives containing unprocessed raw data or very lightly processed data, seem to be difficult to find..

I'll be grateful for any help..

Genentech archives?

Thanks..

> Genentech archives

Are they open to public?

What I want is, in some sense, too "mundane", detailed measurements, but taken for years (either for the hell of it, or to check a weird idea that there might be some slow temporal drift in values, or to calibrate the equipment, or just because it was a constant part of a changing protocol).

I'd like to do a few things with such data, but a typical example is this: people published a claim 20+ years ago, that for a number of chemical reactions the variability in their speed decreased when the solar activity increased. It's a strange claim, but it should be easy to verify or refute.. if there are some long-term data like this somewhere..

>public
i guess that was the idea of the archive

>mundane", detailed measurements, but taken for years
i think it will be hard to find at least in the us: a postdoc lasts not longer than 3 years, and so are the experiment projects

some us universities have service divisions, which operate an expensive experimental setup such as x-ray, nmr etc. and do routine measurements for everybody who comes through the door with a grant number they can charge. i've seen pretty old equipment and pretty old guys and ladies

another thing: national labs

Thanks.. These might be the right places to look: they probably have quite a bit of data in their non-internet archives..
