In its own words:
"To provide a means for members of civil society to monitor the activities of powerful entities, such as governments, large corporations, and wealthy and influential individuals."
History Commons was a website that documents events and issues of great social and political significance, focusing primarily on events from the 1970s on. It was originally sponsored by The Global Center and is now operated by the Center for Grassroots Oversight. The website was previously named Center for Cooperative Research, and was located at cooperativeresearch.org.[1]
Importance
History Commons had a pretty high threshold for inclusion, giving it a high reputation for reliability. Compared to Wikispooks, it is more wedded to commercially-controlled media. In this respect it is similar to Wikipedia, but it is not subject to the same censorship, so it has details about a number of events such 2001 Mexican legislative assembly attack, which are completely missing on Wikipedia. If you are creating a new page here, it is good to include a reference to historycommons if one is available.
Activity
As of September 2016, the site was semi-dormant; fatal errors were being attended to, but new material was no longer being added. The site's most recent tweet, from 6 January 2014, was a request for funds and the main site features an "urgent" request for funds.[2] The site remained readable, however, though the last edit was made in July 2016.[3]
By 2021 the website had become inactive, possibly due to lack of funds.[4]
