Abstract
This presentation was presented as a part of the panel, "Expanding Public Knowledge: New Methodologies for Contemporary (Poetry) Archives." The panel brought together recipients of Mellon Foundation's Public Knowledge grant who are developing new methodologies to address the contemporary archival lifecycle: Emory University's The Virtual Reading Room: Consortia Access to Digitized Literary and Poetry Archives, University of Delaware's Poetry as Activism, and Washington University in St. Louis's Born-Digital Poetry: Planning for the Future of Literary Archives. Practitioners shared their progress exploring and implementing models to confront the challenges of the contemporary archival lifecycle as part of an effort to push the profession forward.
