Empowering Public Libraries to
Create Community History Web Archives


[Community Webs]


Applications are now being accepted from public librarians interested in participating in a new program of continuing education, training, and services to empower public libraries to build collections of historically-valuable, web published materials documenting their local communities. This program is offered by the Internet Archive in partnership with WebJunction and with funding from the Institute of Museum and Library Services.

The two year program will provide education, applied training, cohort support, and web archiving services for public librarians to develop expertise in web archiving. It aims to preserve over 35 terabytes of community heritage materials for long-term access; to create open educational resources relating to web archiving and digital preservation; and to explore new forms of local engagement and partnerships through public programming support.

Please join us in sharing this exciting opportunity widely:
