Codex is your community’s own collaboratively built, virtual museum dedicated to the preservation and sharing of language, culture, and heritage. Create digital stories together with your community using video, sound recordings, images, and text.
The word 'codex' is derived from the Latin word 'caudex', meaning ‘trunk of a tree’. Bound, handwritten codices (plural of codex) were the first ancient books. Codex creates living, ever-expanding branches of knowledge, content, and ideas bound together through a shared platform.

Why Codex?

"It has helped us to create a digital community collection environment that will allow us to easily highlight many topics throughout our community. It is our vision that this digital environment will evolve with us and remain a safe and accessible place where community members can share and everyone can discover. As time goes on, we need to maintain that level of trust and then the community will come to us for news. I think Codex can really help us with that, to get the word out and collect the history. And from an admin/user perspective it's really easy to use."

"Our clients did not have a centralized document repository. There was no one community storytelling platform where photos, pdfs, videos, and text could all be shared. Information was in boxes with no online copies. History was just sitting on shelves and not being seen by community members."
