Founded in the early 1980s, the Institute for Global Communications (IGC) emerged from a collaboration between several San Francisco Bay Area nonprofits, including the ARC Foundation and the Center for Innovative Diplomacy. Initially launched as PeaceNet, the organization aimed to support efforts in reducing the risks of war and promoting peace through a computer network connecting individuals and organizations worldwide.

Over the years, IGC evolved alongside technology, transitioning from dial-up modems to the Internet and World Wide Web, and played a crucial role in fostering digital collaboration tools. By the time it ceased operations on June 30, 2017, IGC had successfully migrated its users to the Association for Progressive Communications while contributing to global communication and equity initiatives.
