OER Repositories, so many of them, and also, [so many lists to links to repositories](https://www.google.com/search?q=oer+repositories). We call here for your help for something that will help frame part of activities for next year’s Open Education Week (_early ahem_– March 4-8, 2024).
**What are the broadest/most comprehensive places for people to share and find OER?** The big ships, if you will…

These are the attributes we are looking for-- Repositories that:
- Cross all disciplines
- Covers a wide multiple types of OER format (e.g. not just textbooks or videos or specific media)
- Allow for anyone to contribute/suggest an OER ( **This is a must have** )
- Ones of regional (e.g. continent/country/audience) focus (yes @danmcguire I seek those ones that include or focus on K12, can you help?)
- Ones with content are all explicitly openly licensed
- ideally, ones that are indexed by federated searches. e.g. listed as sources for [OASIS](https://oasis.geneseo.edu/), [OERSI](https://oersi.org/resources/), [Mason OER Finder](https://mom.gmu.edu/) (also if you know more of these types of searches reply below).
We seek not a Big List nor a list of ALL repositories but a list of the Big Comprehensive Ones. Obviously the first draft below is thin! In searching I have stumbled across many link lists and more broken links than my web heart can take.
## How to Contribute
The next response below will be set up to be Wiki Style. This means, if you are logged in to OEG Connect, you can click an Edit button, and add/edit modify what is there. Feel free as well to reply using the Reply button here to send comments/feedback/questions about what we are doing.

The Wiki part will follow…

A good example of a robust, well-developed regional (well, state) OER repository is [OERTX](https://oertx.highered.texas.gov/), which is built on OER Commons. “OERTX Repository is a public digital library of open educational resources for higher education.” It is managed by the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board.

Less than 20 minutes to reply, Thanks Judith. OERTX was on my mind, I added a third grouping.

I’m not sure if these qualify, but there are a number of OER repositories that are H5P-focused:
- eCampusOntario H5P Studio [[https://h5pstudio.ecampusontario.ca/](https://h5pstudio.ecampusontario.ca/)] (Ontario, Canada)
- LibreStudio [[https://studio.libretexts.org/](https://studio.libretexts.org/)] (Broad/Global)
- Lumi Cloud [[Lumi](https://app.lumi.education/search)] (Broad/Global)
- Zum Apps [[https://apps.zum.de/](https://apps.zum.de/)] (Germany)
- H5P Catalogue [[https://h5pcatalogue.in/](https://h5pcatalogue.in/)] (India)

Thanks Yasin, you know how much I adore H5P, and these are certainly of interest. But the ones I am hoping to gather are not specific to one content type, looking for the ships that can store any kind of OER. And most likely referatory style.
But hmmm, good for me, I had not seen Zum before.

Thank you for mentioning K-12. Unfortunately, there are not many Big repositories beyond OER Commons and MoodleNet. Skillscommons should probably be on the list, though, as many of their entries are suitable for secondary schools.

Keep on adding those repositories! FWIW a new paper on Open Repositories in Europe (but these are data and research journal ones)

Thank you Shushumna, that’s new to me, and very worthwhile as a repository for French language resources. It looks like Camerise enables contributing resources.
I do not see any kind of licensing designation for content, but [the terms and conditions](https://camerisefsl.ca/terms-conditions/) suggest the person who adds something acknowledges the resource is original or does not include copyrighted material and that they grant Camrise the rights to share it openly.
Great addition, thanks

[**DIKSHA**](https://diksha.gov.in/explore) ( **Digital Infrastructure for Knowledge Sharing** ) is an Indian national platform for school education, an initiative of National Council for Educational Research and Training (NCERT), under the aegis of the Ministry of Education (MoE), GoI. Launched in 2017. DIKSHA has been adopted by almost all the States, Union Territories, central autonomous bodies/boards in India.
This may fit in Regional so added there.

Thanks Sushumna! I knew there was a national/regional one in India, but all the links I had failed. This is a fantastic one to have on the list.

Thank you, Anna! This Library of OER has all the featured, flexible search, a wide range of resource types, clear licensing, and a means to add new OER.
This is exactly what we are hoping to find.

Thank you Sushumna for adding our local/regional repository Camerise (York university FSL Hub) to the list. We are working with Learnful (Yasin Dahi on this thread of discussion) to create version 3.0 for the Camerise repository with a H5P studio allowing authoring OER directly from the platform. Version 3.0 will provide our users direct access to other OER repsoitories to find resources they could use to create derivatives for the field. More to comme soon.

That’s very exciting to read this development for Camerise. I’m a big fan of Learnful and it’s Studio concept (and @yasin.dahi!) Please keep us posted.

Thank you, I am enjoying seeing the H5P resources you are sharing for Open Education Week.
These lists are useful for helping educators find places to look for OERs, what I have been seeking are the repositories we can recommend to people to add their own OERs into to be shared
