May Sinclair News! A big trunk of Sinclair's papers was donated to the University of Sussex in 2013, but the papers were all out of order and it was difficult to work out what was there. No more! They are in order, and they are catalogued. maysinclairsociety.com/2024/09/26/may…

Some pics from our recent workshop on data feminism + archives @TheKingsU w a fantastic keynote on women in libraries and DH @ecava12 @ElizabethWGordo @KathrynLHolland

“There was a moment where buying a small press for your home was a radical act that allowed you to seize the means of production & make your own stuff without concerns about the market or censorship” bit.ly/463E51u [images: Vanessa Bell designs for Hogarth Press 1924]

We chatted to Prof Claire Battershill, modernist letterpress expert & co-director of @MAPP_Project about sloppy craft, the Hogarth Press’ ‘punk rock aesthetic’ & printing as protest in our newsletter this week ✂️📚

Brenda R. Silver’s pathbreaking 1983 book ‘Virginia Woolf: The Reading Notebooks’ is integral to the work of the new WoolfNotes project. As is her fantastic ‘Textual Criticism as Feminist Practice: Or, Who’s Afraid of VW Part II’ (1991)

As Alice said in her keynote lecture: ‘look closely at these notebooks, and they will radically change how we characterise Woolf’s compositional processes + understand her professionalism as both a writer and a publisher’

MAPP’s Alice Staveley + @Nicola_LWilson were honoured to mark the launch of WoolfNotes @KingsCollegeLon woolfnotes.com this evening w the formidable Michelle Barrett, Brenda R. Silver, Anna Snaith + Clara Jones

The new site builds on earlier digital work by Julia Briggs + Mark Hussey (WoolfOnline), Vara Naverow + Merry Pawvlowski (w the 3 Guineas scrapbooks) + @mapp_project
