We have a successful multi-year year partnership with the University of Washington via an ongoing Research and Academic Partnership with the History and English Departments.
The discovery of the collection is inherently newsworthy:
Press Coverage
-
The discovery is expected to generate both international and regional interest due to its combination of global settings and universally appealing human interest content.
-
The public announcement of the discovery has been strategically withheld to coordinate and leverage partnerships, expert opinions, and funding announcements.
-
The project offers significant opportunities for regular press releases in both academic and mainstream media.
-
News of the discovery, intermediary preservation milestones, and public launch through global and targeted regional campaigns will attract awareness and interest in the archive as well as support for the project.
-
The project will leverage the more provocative and controversial content through press releases to create buzz and interest.
