Dear colleagues,
Please join the New England Archivists on Wednesday September 24th at 1:00pm ET for a free, virtual discussion of the article "Beyond the Grant: Cultivating Sustainable Next Steps" from the Journal of Contemporary Archival Studies. Registration is free and open to NEA members and non-members alike.
JCAS Reading Group- "Beyond the Grant: Cultivating Sustainable Next Steps"
Wednesday September 24, 2025
1:00 pm - 2:00 pm ET
Free virtual event
Join New England Archivists for a discussion and Q&A with the authors of "Beyond the Grant: Cultivating Sustainable Next Steps". The paper, by Virginia A. Dressler, Kaysie Harrington, Michael C. Hawkins, Michelle Sweetser, and Nicholas Pavlik, highlights ongoing work at three cultural heritage institutions to extend the work begun during grant-funded digital projects beyond the term of their grants. Whether you are in the middle of grant-funded work, have completed a grant or had a grant terminated, or are simply considering grant funding, this discussion will help you explore sustainable approaches to maintaining momentum on grant-funded initiatives once funding ends.
Attendees are invited to join in an open discussion of the article, where they can hear more from the authors, pose questions to the group, and discuss how the article reflects or informs their own work.
The article can be downloaded for free at this link: https://elischolar.library.yale.edu/jcas/vol11/iss1/5/
