Website Creation & Hosting

The State Library’s Network & Resource Sharing department (NRS) provides websites free-of-charge for libraries, museums, and related organizations. NRS can help you create your site, host it for free, and deliver hands-on training to help you keep your site up and running. More than 40 Colorado Libraries and other organizations are using this service already.

If you’d like to learn more about the State Library’s website services, contact us using our online form, or e-mail Kieran Hixon or Babi Hammond directly.

Looking for a way to share digital collections like yearbooks, photos, and oral history recordings online?  We can help with that too! Contact  Marisa Wood for more information.
