 # The HDF Group
-The ultimate plan is to make this the new destination for [www.hdfgroup.org](https://www.hdfgroup.org) and the other web properties of The HDF Group. Much of this site has been assembled to quickly replace portal.hdfgroup.or which held our documentation and download archives. 
 
 Our **non-profit mission** is to ensure efficient and equitable access to science and engineering data across platforms and environments, now and forever.
