The Dictionary of Sydney is a unique digital story-telling platform about Sydney with over 400 contributors, 940 entries, 12,735 entities and 4,217 multimedia items freely accessible online.
Since 2006 the City of Sydney has been our major government partner providing us with cash and in-kind support, including our current premises in Benledi House, Glebe.
From July we will enter into a new partnership with the State Library of NSW to host our website. The project to transfer our website is being funded by a one-off grant from the City of Sydney and does not include operational funding from the SLNSW. From December 2016, the City of Sydney will no longer fund the Dictionary on an ongoing basis.
More than ever, for the Dictionary to flourish, we rely upon the goodwill and generosity of our supporters.
While we are continuing to work with our existing supporters as well as seeking new partnerships, we hope our many supporters can help us raise funds to ensure that the Dictionary continues to improve its content and functionality.
Each year the Dictionary of Sydney has an annual fundraising drive. This year we ask you to consider what impact the Dictionary has had on you, why you use it and what you love about it.
There are many people who would appreciate and use the Dictionary but don't know it exists. In order to bring our content to a wider audience, we need to keep growing the Dictionary.
