Internet Archive is currently offering grants to public libraries and librarians as part of a new program to build community history web archives. The program, funded by a grant from IMLS, is for libraries around the country to archive community websites in the hope of updating preservation methods for the digital age and improve preservation of local websites. Libraries selected by the group will receive $25,000 worth of web-archiving services from the group, the equivalent of 500 gigabytes of content, along with a $3,500-per-year fund to attend meetings related to the Community Webs project.
Deadline is Aug. 25.

Watch for our survey in June!  We want your input on the topics and issues you would like to learn about most. Help us to create a meaningful, practical day of learning, discussion and connection that has immediate application to your work.

Program fee will be $50. The event registration will open Tuesday, August 22.
