History

Founded in 2019, Howellcome OpenSource Archive started as a small mirror network serving a handful of universities. Over the years, we have grown to become one of the largest community-driven mirror aggregators, partnering with over 50 institutions worldwide.

In 2023, we expanded our services to include container registries and programming language package mirrors, further cementing our role as a one-stop destination for open source software distribution needs.
