Overview
The Archive of Endangered Online Communities is a focused effort to preserve the threads, voices, and connections that define fragile digital spaces. This project seeks to document how communities form, evolve, and sometimes fade, so that future researchers, historians, and members of these communities can study their dynamics with clarity. By supporting this work, you help ensure that meaningful online cultures—especially those facing erasure or abrupt platform changes—remain accessible for thoughtful study and respectful memory. This page explains how contributions enable ongoing archiving, curation, and public access, while keeping the process transparent and community-driven.
Why Your Support Matters
Preserving online communities is about more than data. It is about preserving context, governance, and lived experience. Your support helps us:
- Capture and archive evolving conversations, milestones, and governance decisions that shape a community’s identity.
- Build accessible, searchable archives that scholars, journalists, and community members can study and reference.
- Foster inclusive access by supporting multilingual tagging, clear documentation, and user-friendly interfaces.
How Donations Are Used
Contributions fund a practical set of activities designed to keep the archive sustainable and useful. We allocate resources toward concrete, measurable outcomes:
- Core development and data curation to improve ingest pipelines, metadata quality, and search capabilities.
- Hosting, storage, and reliable backups to guard against data loss and ensure long-term availability.
- Outreach and community engagement to welcome contributors, documenters, and translators from diverse backgrounds.
- Open access and accessibility improvements so people with varying abilities can explore the archive effectively.
- Independent audits and governance reviews to maintain integrity and accountability.
Transparency And Trust
We commit to openness about how funds are used and what they accomplish. Public reporting includes activity dashboards, monthly progress notes, and governance updates. Our process emphasizes accountability, with clear milestones and documented decisions available to supporters and the wider community. If you value consistency and thoughtful stewardship, this archive is designed to be a durable, chairside partner for researchers, educators, and curious readers alike.
