Every public or commercial building from the Plain to Magdalen Road has its own page. We are building an open archive of facts and photos celebrating Cowley Road's social and architectural life, with all content [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_culture_movement freely available] for community use.
The project will be was officially launched during Cowley Road Carnival 2017, followed by a series of public workshops. The workshops will collect memories and images, and show people how to add these to the website.
=== How do I get involved? ===
This is a project from artist [http://eleanorg.org Eleanor Greenhalgh] and programmer [https://charlieharvey.org.uk Charlie Harvey].
It uses software from [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki MediaWiki], and features some images from other open archives such as [http://www.geograph.org.uk/ Geograph]. It features a large contribution from local author and photographer [https://www.martin-stott.com/ Martin Stott] who has generously contributed his own archival photographs. We are working in partnership with [http://cowleyroadcarnival.co.uk Cowley Road Carnival] and have benefited from the advice and support of historian [http://lizwoolley.co.uk Liz Woolley].
The project has been supported financially by the Greening Lambourn Trust, which exists to promote interest in the history and architectural heritage of Oxford by supporting publications and other media which create access to them.
