The Observatory


  • Mission

    The Observatory is a free digital education resource. It offers the public useful information to help them both better understand today’s issues and navigate life in the modern world.

    Our doors are open: We rely on the experts and peer reviewers, volunteer researchers and editors, and specialists who understand the Observatory is a vehicle for their passion to educate the public with valuable information.

    Visitors engage with the Observatory:

    • Via Search: For expertise by keyword, topic area, or a favorite author.
    • Via Guides: To get the big picture.

    The Observatory uses MediaWiki, the software that powers Wikipedia, to publish content by a team of expert contributors.

    Our goal is to be an audience-supported education resource that can make a difference.
