Many meteorological records remain as paper data sources, which constitutes an obstacle to climate research. Student–scientist collaborations between secondary schools, universities, national meteorological services, and archives have the potential to be applied elsewhere and contribute to a fast, accurate and low‐cost climate data rescue process. Service‐learning partnerships in climate data rescue projects are crucial to communicate climate science and to enhance climate data literacy outside the school curriculum. Secondary school students–scientists partnerships are an important new avenue for climate data rescue projects.
