With over 175 public libraries and cultural organizations working together, the Community Webs program is dedicated to creating digital archives that document their communities' experiences. Their outstanding efforts have resulted in over 1,400 collections, which document local civic life, totaling nearly 100 terabytes. LEARN MORE From Our Collections Houston, We Have Audio When it comes to preservation of important history, the recordings of the Apollo 11 mission come to mind. Thanks to donations from NASA, the Archive has the digitized, cataloged and archived recordings by the Houston Audio Control Room, at the NASA Johnson Space Center of the historic moon landing of 1969. With hours of recordings, take a listen to this incredible feat of humankind as it unfolded in real time! Punk's Not Dead If you're interested in the punk movement of the 90s, you might want to check out the Vintage Detroit Punk Rock Flyers. The collection of flyers from various shows and artists in the Metro Detroit area showcases the outspoken and creative work of that time. The collection has over 200 saved flyers for the public to enjoy as a body of work and evidence of an important cultural movement of that time.
