Ways to Contribute to Connexions Summary & Soundbite versionsSound byte from Christina F (58 words) Connexions is a social justice archive with the aim of promoting connections between like-minded movements, issues and activists. We are trying to preserve and share the memory of our common struggles to ensure a future for social change. To do this, we need to secure funding for our operations as well as a space to house our archives. About Connexions (217 words) Connexions was established in 1975 as a project to connect people working for justice with each other and with resources and information. The Connexions website www.connexions.org features a growing online library of more than 13,000 items, including articles, books, and periodicals, plus a systematic Subject Index which cross-links resources and helps users make connections. Connexions.org also offers a directory of activist groups and websites, an event calendar, the Connexipedia social justice encyclopedia, and the ‘Seeds of Fire’ People’s Chronology. The Connexions website receives more than 70,000 visitors a month. Connexions also maintains the Connexions Archive, a physical archive of more than 100,000 documents spanning more than 50 years of grassroots activism. The materials in the collection are gradually being digitized. Connexions is searching for a space to house the collection and those who work on it. Because Connexions is a very active project – a place where interns and volunteers come to scan, index, write, research, and translate – it needs a transit-accessible space able to accommodate both the physical collection and those who work on it. Connexions is interested in pursuing partnerships and networks with other grassroots archives and resource groups and supportive institutions. Connexions welcomes volunteers. Areas of particular need are computer programming and website design, editing, typing, and help with securing space and fundraising.
