'''History Commons''' is 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.<ref>http://archive.today/2022.08.29-192258/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_Commons</ref>
==Importance==
History Commons has a pretty high threshold for inclusion, giving it a high reputation for reliability. Compared to Wikispooks, it is more wedded to {{ccm}}. 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 appears to be semi-dormant; fatal errors are 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.<ref>https://twitter.com/historycommons</ref> The site remains readable, however, though the last edit was made in July 2016.<ref>http://www.historycommons.org/</ref>
By 2021 the website is inactive and possibly due to severe funding issues may not come online again.<ref>https://medium.com/@91erik/historycommons-org-revolutionary-app-may-go-offline-dd50143dcfb4 saved at [https://web.archive.org/web/20200121053006/https://medium.com/@91erik/historycommons-org-revolutionary-app-may-go-offline-dd50143dcfb4 Archive.org] saved at [https://archive.ph/ygPkh Archive.is]</ref>
