Welcome to CANNI

Community Archiving Network Northern Ireland

What is CANNI?

CANNI is the Community Archiving Network for Northern Ireland. The development of CANNI is supported by the Big Lottery Fund.

The Project will give an opportunity for communities in Northern Ireland to present and raise awareness of their work at a local level and to share experiences, knowledge and connect with others within Northern Ireland and further afield. The term archiving, in this context, means a treasury of information embracing the past, present and the future.

How do we work?

Groups and individuals will have the opportunity to build and develop their own web site and pages, hosted by CANNI, that expresses their community interest and learn the simple techniques required.

Your site could be about the past by presenting the local history of your area, it could be about the present and what is currently going on in your community and it can be about the future in terms of what you hope to do, your news and communicating to a wider audience.

Our ambition

We hope the outcome will be a community focused network of internet sites that will be a treasury of information about communities involved in learning, community development, local history, the arts, health and well-being, sports etc.
