Finding public databases

Post date: 2021-07-23 12:17:13

A friend has asked me to research her, and so I am looking for public databases that are not in the vein of KnowX or USSearch or PeekYou. But I am also not talking about password protected databases such as the DMV or searching for a credit report.

I am looking for sites like, for example, Google Scholar, that showed in a comprehensive way, work she had done but forgotten about. The unclaimed funds website showed she had money sitting in Oklahoma and Maryland. Her Amazon and Goodreads reading list, which she hadn't used in years, revealed interests she didn't realize were public. And social media searches turned up accounts she didn't remember that were full of followers and links to videos and pictures she will now be taking down. So, in short, I am looking for websites and databases like those (and possibly including whatever I can find on Tor's .onion sites), that may be very narrowly focused and totally public but excellent in how they collect what they specialize in.
