About the Annenberg Website Archive

The USC Annenberg Website Archive is a collection of digital projects created by members of the USC Annenberg community over the last two decades. The sites listed here are no longer actively maintained, but they’ve been preserved for the public as a record of our faculty and students’ activities. Created on different platforms and for different purposes, they each offer an intriguing window into the aesthetic, pedagogical and web development practices of their day. New sites will be added as they become available.

Please note that these sites are offered “as is,” and we cannot accommodate requests for technical or editorial assistance related to them.
