- The Open Society Archives (OSA) at Central European University is an archival laboratory. While actively collecting, preserving, and making openly accessible documents related to recent history and human rights, we continue to experiment with new ways to contextualize primary sources, developing innovative tools to explore, represent, or bridge traditional archival collections in a digital environment. Our approach to acquisition is increasingly proactive and inclusive, and we actively seek out non-traditional material, material previously marginalized based on its content, social origin, or form. At OSA Archivum, professional archival work is integrated with public programs, and our Galeria Centralis serves as the focal point of exhibitions, performances, film screenings, lectures, and seminars. Through all of these endeavors, we advocate: open access and transparency in public administration; equal rights to information; the ethical use of private data; open formats and open standards; and broad access to cultural heritage. -

- Archive of St. Louis punk scene /The purpose of this site is to preserve and make available for both researchers and fans the artifacts of the St. Louis punk scene. Beyond simply providing a glimpse of the sounds and images of St. Louis punk, the flyers, records, tapes, shirts, videos and photos collected here also help to provide a picture of the parallel communities that punks created across the country. Even in the smallest of scenes punks helped to found their own journals, television and radio shows, clubs, and touring circuits, independent of the rock and roll circuit, which ignored punk, and in turn punk returned the favor. -

- If you know about Open Culture, surely you know about Ubuweb. If you don't, its slogan says almost everything you need to know about it: "All Avant-Garde. All the Time." This vast online repository of cutting-edge cultural artifacts from a variety of eras also adheres steadfastly to the principle of keeping all of its material free: free in the sense of charging you nothing to read, hear or view it, and free in the sense that you can do whatever you want with it. Needless to say, the site, founded by poet Kenneth Goldsmith in 1996, has made many fans, and Ubuweb itself has tapped quite a few of the higher-profile ones to curate top ten lists. Assembled by people like New Yorker music critic Alex Ross, novelists Hari Kunzru and Rick Moody, alterna-pop star Nick "Momus" Currie, these help the potentially (and understandably) bewildered find their way through the trove of Ubuweb's media, which is universally influential and vanishingly obscure, viscerally transgressive and vertiginously intellectual, eternally exciting and deliberately boring. -
