"SCIENTISTS at the University of East Anglia (UEA) have admitted throwing away much of the raw temperature data on which their predictions of global warming are based.
It means that other academics are not able to check basic calculations said to show a long-term rise in temperature over the past 150 years.
The UEA’s Climatic Research Unit (CRU) was forced to reveal the loss following requests for the data under Freedom of Information legislation." Times on line
On the other hand, some very old stuff is now going to be available on line.
"Rare scientific manuscripts from Britain's Royal Society go online - 30 Nov 2009
The UK’s Royal Society has announced that historic manuscripts by scientists such as Sir Isaac Newton, Benjamin Franklin and others will be published online for the first time. As part of celebrations to mark its 350th anniversary, the society will make original manuscripts of papers published in its journals available to the public via Trailblazing, a new online resource.
Trailblazing contains 60 articles chosen from among the 60,000 that have appeared in the Royal Society's journals. Among the highlights from the Trailblazing site are: a 1770 scientific study confirming that composer Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart was a genius and, more recently, acclaimed British scientist Stephen Hawking's early writings on black holes. Also included are Sir Isaac Newton's landmark research on light and colour, a gruesome account of a 17th century blood transfusion and Benjamin Franklin's famous kite-flying experiment to identify the electrical nature of lightning in 1752."

The most insulting part (which I found upon furter review at a British site) is that they expect us to believe this story about throwing away data because they didn't have enough space when they were moving. Urg!
And we all know the media won't care about the lying scientists, who kept being frustrated because their compute models couldn't be made to produce the results they wanted (which means it's not science, then, folks), but will instead focus on the sneaky, mean ol' bad guy/gal who hacked in and finally exposed the truth.
