*Apologies for cross-posting The Internet Archive is now accepting applications from public libraries, local and community archives, and other cultural heritage organizations in the United States to join Community Webs <https://communitywebs.archive-it.org/>, our Community History Web Archiving Program. Community Webs is fully funded by non-profit Internet Archive. There is no cost to participating organizations. Community Webs seeks to empower cultural heritage organizations to work with their communities 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. The program offers free multi-year subscriptions to Archive-It <https://archive-it.org/> and Vault <https://webservices.archive.org/pages/vault>, training and technical support, as well as resources for networking, professional development and in support of scholarly research.
