Jess Pauszek (CCR Alum) has been awarded an Academic Technology Innovation Grant in the amount of $40,000 from Boston College for her project The FWWCP Digital Collection Project, which will include digitizing, mapping, creating metadata, and designing a digital exhibition of working-class archival documents from the Federation of Worker Writers and Community Publishers (FWWCP). While the digital collection will not be fully updated until May 2024, you are welcome to explore the collection-in-progress at: https://fwwcpdigitalcollection.org/. This work builds on the printed collection of the FWWCP, which is housed at the Trades Union Congress Library in London, England, that was indexed and curated by Pauszek, Vincent Portillo, Steve Parks as well as students in Civic Writing London classes from Syracuse University.
