Providing Access to Large Literary Archives in a Digital Medium (Palladium)
About
The Providing Access to Large Literary Archives in a Digital Medium (Palladium) project developed end-to-end workflows and tools for the ingest of email archives at the University of Manchester. It produced guides for the management of email archives and for collection donors, data visualisations from and creative responses to the Carcanet email archive. The project included development of additional functionality for appraisal and management in ePADD, augmenting display, download and redaction tools.
Funding
Funding for the Palladium project was provided by a grant from the Arts Council England Designation Development Fund.

92nd St. Y Email Archiving Project
About
A current count puts the 92Y’s Poetry Center’s email archive at almost 3 million messages. A collaboration between the Poetry Center and the digital-archive team at Stanford University Libraries, this project will apply the ePADD to the assessment and preservation of the email archive with the goal of developing a processing and accessibility model that other cultural centers might learn from and adopt for their own internal and external purposes.
Funding
Funding for this project was provided by Email Archives: Building Capacity and Community (EA:BCC), administered by the University of Illinois. The EA:BCC program is a re-grant program from the Andrew W. Mellon foundation that seeks to build email archiving capacity in archives, libraries, and museums.
