US-based public library participants are fully funded by The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation; there is no cost to participating organizations.
Community Webs empowers cultural heritage organizations to build community-focused web archives documenting local and underrepresented histories. The program offers free web archiving services and technical support via a multi-year subscription to Archive-It, as well as resources for networking, professional development and in support of scholarly research. We currently have over 100 participants from across the US, and we're continuing to expand, especially in states and regions that do not yet have members, to make the program truly representative of our country as a whole.
