Day 2 featured the Feminist Infrastructures: Women in Transatlantic Publishing 1900-1950 conference. We began with a warm welcome from HRC director Stephen Enniss, followed by a MAPP-led roundtable.

Last week, the MAPP team and our library partners arrived in balmy Austin, Texas for an in-person workshop followed by the Feminist Infrastructures: Women in Transatlantic Publishing 1900-1950 conference. The workshop allowed the MAPP team to meet with our library partners in person after having communicated primarily by email and Zoom over the past several years. It gave us the opportunity to...
We hope you like our redesigned website!

Garima and Srishti conducted user research sessions (with some ‘power users’...

‘Citation is how we acknowledge our debt to those who came before; those who...

One of the worst feelings as a student is when you realize that no one apart from your professor is ever going to read that meticulously researched, spend-hours-making-the-bibliography-just-right paper you’re so proud of. All those hours of work we are putting into our assignments are basically lost once it is determined that the quality is sufficient for a passing grade – the...

It looks similar to the other profit and loss statements I’ve encountered from the publishing house, comparing the projected printing, distribution, and advertising costs to estimated book sales, an indication of Leonard Woolf’s...
As an archivist working behind the scenes on the MAPP project, I am fortunate to be able to catalogue to item level - this means instead of generally describing a batch, or series of correspondence, I have the opportunity to read and describe every letter within a folder. Often, I have the chance to discover interesting aspects about certain folders. It is a privilege to catalogue the chosen MAPP...
