The American Yawp has two main core digital humanities’ values prominent in their work; openness and collaboration.
Openness is the idea of being open for the public to freely use. The American Yawp is an open source, a person is able to use it for free, download it, distribute it and modify it to their needs. Within their about page, it says “The project is formally operated under a Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike 4.0 International (CC-BY-SA) License and is designed to meet the standards of a “Free Cultural Work.”
The American Yawp is a large team of people who contributed to building the website and providing historical information.
