  Community Memory
  

  Community Memory supports the development of journalism, archives, oral history and analysis for historic and emerging community based organizations, networks and movements. 

  Often, the histories and critical moments of decision in small organizations and divergent opinions within movements are lost from view, neither documented nor remembered.  Even when documented, such materials are rarely curated and made available to inform future decision making and understanding.

  Community Memory provides a range of tools, training, syndication and outreach opportunities:
