CERES: Exhibit Toolkit

This project was created on a customized WordPress instance using the CERES: Exhibit Toolkit. These tools, as well as archival, hosting, and support systems, are provided by the Northeastern University Library Digital Scholarship Group. The DSG specializes in the Digital Humanities and helps faculty, staff, and students in the Northeastern community showcase their projects to the public.

We appreciate the support of the New England Humanities Consortium (NEHC) and the National Archives of Composition and Rhetoric (NACR).

 

A Note on Funding and Institutional Support

An archive is a living space—one which is never “finished,” and one that is necessarily collaborative and inter-generational. The project we present here is a consequence of the physical and intellectual labor of many, and is made possible through availability of federal work study funds, internal funding, and institutional resources. We recognize the privilege in our access to these resources as we pursue multidisciplinary partnerships and collaborations, advocate for the sharing of resources, and encourage the expansion of digital archival work beyond the purview of privileged institutions.

To these ends, we are currently working with the NEHC and NACR to develop initiatives to share resources and create more accessible avenues for other institutions to engage in the work of digitally archiving their writing programs. The OWPN.org project, currently under construction, will extend and apply procedural knowledge acquired while building NUWPArc into public and shared domain. We hope these efforts will allow us to create a network of public digital writing program archives that will generate new knowledge in writing studies.
