Unlocking Collective Knowledge and Memory: Digital Rights Wiki and Its Network of Resources

digital rights network resources

The Digital Rights Wiki is a community-powered hub designed to surface, organize, and connect expertise, tools, manuals, and insights in the digital rights and digital security space. Its a commons and a practical, searchable hub that both seasoned experts and folks new to the space can use. The positives include:

  • Shared Wisdom, Not One-Voice Authority
    Unlike a single-author blog or static resource, this wiki is built by and for the digital rights and digital security community — which means it stays responsive to the real-time challenges people are facing.

  • Networked Intelligence
    It has embedded links, references, and partner toolkits — giving you direct access to organizations, projects, and external expertise without reinventing the wheel.

  • Living Memory
    We collect past meetup notes, project reflections, and case studies. These provide both institutional memory and inspiration — so we don’t lose what we’ve learned.

Highlights of What You’ll Find Inside

  • Fundraising Opportunities, Fellowships, and Emergency Grants

    The Fundraising Opportunities page is a living list of grants, fellowships, and funding calls relevant to the digital rights community. It also highlights opportunities ranging from long-term project support to emergency grants and relocation or resettlement aid for human rights defenders at risk. Updated weekly, the page serves as a practical resource to help mobilize funding quickly and sustainably.

  • Network Resources

    Collection of manuals, tips, and information on things like digital security, physical security, self-care, and much more! Also organized by diverse languages! Additionally, we have also collected rapid response documentation, including protocols, templates, guides, and psychological safety strategies to help teams act swiftly.

  • Past Meetup Notes
    We preserve the notes, slides, and post-mortems from our numerous meetups and gathering. If someone asked a question in 2022 about secure group chats or coalition models, it’s recorded and searchable — no more reinventing the wheel or losing “field memory.”

  • Misc
    We have links to a digital rights community primer, documentation on how to join our Mattermost, and much more!
