=== What is CowleyRoad.org? ===
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.
 
All content is created by and for the local community. All contributions are released under an open license, so all content on the site is genuinely available for free community use. See the [[Copyright|Copyright]] page for more details.
The project was officially launched during Cowley Road Carnival 2017, followed by a series of public workshops. Further public events in October & November 2019 will gather more material from local people and digitize it for the archive.
