PolicyArchive enables authors and publishing organizations to upload their research and make it freely available to users that now include legislators, policymakers, and scholars. The site includes an internal search engine, summaries and full texts of research, a subject index, research synopses, and e-mail notifications of new research.
Current contributors to PolicyArchive include the Aspen Institute, the Center for American Progress, the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, the National Democratic Institute for International Affairs, and the Southern Sudan Commission for Census, Statistics and Evaluation, among others. PolicyArchive funders include the California HealthCare Foundation, the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation, the Joyce Foundation, the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation, the Markle Foundation and the Charles H. Revson Foundation.
Founded in 1983, the Center for Governmental Studies has created several technology and media solutions to help individuals participate in their local communities and governments. Among its innovations, the CGS established the California Channel, the largest statewide system of legislative television coverage; the Democracy Network, one of the nation’s first online sources of candidate information; ConnectLA, an online resource of information for economically disadvantaged communities; and CalHealthReform, a Web site that tracks important health care legislation.
