[Libs-Or] Join the Internet Archive's Community History Web Archiving Program!

[Catherine Falls]

Good afternoon,

The Internet Archive is currently accepting applications from public libraries in Oregon to join Community Webs <https://communitywebs.archive-it.org/index.html>, our Community History Web Archiving Program. Community Webs is fully funded with generous support from the Mellon Foundation. There is no cost to participating organizations. 

Community Webs seeks to empower public libraries to build community-focused archives of websites, social media and other web content documenting local histories and voices that are typically underrepresented in the historic record. We currently have over 100 participating libraries from across the US; however, Oregon is not yet represented.

Organizations that join before April 2023 will receive free web archiving services and technical support via a multi-year subscription to Archive-It, professional development stipends totalling $2,200, and funded travel to a daylong Community Webs meeting later this year. To find out more about the program, please visit the Community Webs website <https://communitywebs.archive-it.org/about.html> 

Interested organizations can Apply on our Website <https://communitywebs.archive-it.org/cfa/> by March 31, 2023.

Have questions? Please reach out to the Community Webs team at commwebsinfo at archive.org <mailto:commwebsinfo at archive.org>.


We hope to see you in the program,



Catherine Falls (she/her)
