Content Directories (1).png

Welcome to the Content Directories

The following is a list of organizations and projects powered with Creative Commons licenses. Since Creative Commons does not maintain a database of content and does not store content, we would like CC-community members to help build a directory of projects to help spread the word about CC — hence the CC Content Directories wiki! Please help us fill it out!

What is an appropriate entry for Content Directories?

Many of the listings in the Content Directories are organizations that provide services using Creative Commons licenses. For example, Flickr.com is a photo-sharing website that allows users to license their photos under Creative Commons licenses. Flickr hosts millions of CC-licensed photos on its site.

Not certain that something should be added to this list? Add it to Talk:Content Directories For short lists of notable works, see books and films. For other notable uses, see the case studies project.

How to add an entry to Content Directories

To get started, see here. If you haven't done so already, you'll need to sign up for an account on this wiki. Users must be logged-in to post to the wiki.
