About the Project
Shift Collective is a nonprofit that helps cultural memory organizations better engage, collaborate with, and reflect their local communities. FFDW’s support enables SHIFT to map the decentralized storage needs of memory organizations, such as galleries, libraries, archives and museums, and build a pilot storage network, with Historypin.org as a basis, to be tested in collaboration with institutional and community archives partners. The goal is to design an early prototype for community-centered, non-extractive, affordable, and accessible long-term, decentralized storage.
