Marginalia is a free and open-source, collaborative article annotation and publishing platform. Annotations have historically served as a method of assistance for reading dense and difficult texts and have existed in the margins of the “original” or “main” text. While the concept of marginalia includes not just annotations, but drawings, critiques, illuminations, scribbles and the like.

We think of margins as a space of not often recognized knowledge creation, that is just as important, if not more so than the main body of text. This platform foregrounds non-linear, messy, entangled knowledge making. It is for those seeking online space for communal learning, wild experiments in reading and writing, and intervening into the text to make room for themselves in it.
This project is being developed for the use of collectives and initiatives, research groups, reading clubs, collective learning endeavors and students that need open-source free tools for collaborative work or hybrid working environments. We’ve built Marginalia trying to embrace principles related to feminist methodology, knowledge-sharing, sustainability, accessibility.
