Knowledge Commons has applied for a significant grant from Lever for Change to build, implement, and sustain a digital preservation network that will be free from the US government’s, and any other single government’s, interference. @npub1zrt…auvm and @npub1ld4…kpds wrote a blog post about the process and its implications: https://buff.ly/eyi2K7I

We are DELIGHTED to announce that our repository, KCWorks has been selected as the designated public-access repository of the National Endowment for the Humanities! 🎉
The KCWorks team will collaborate with the NEH on a one-year build process, in which we will connect KCWorks with eGMS, the NEH’s grants management system, enabling NEH grantees and staff members to upload papers resulting from funded research projects, attach key metadata, and remotely deposit them to KCWorks.
