Keys to the Archive: A Gathering of Old Men

Acknowledgements

This project would not have been possible without the support of the folks at the Ernest J. Gaines Center. Aside from acting as good custodians to the archival collections and the space that houses them, Cheylon Woods and Jordan Richardson served as exemplary guides while we undertook this work. Chey helped me plan the course, lending useful logistical ideas and insightful critical suggestions as I plotted the semester. Jordan ensured that we had everything we needed, including a number of digital resources we would not have known about otherwise. The Center’s graduate assistant, Em Tielman, also deserves our thanks for facilitating access to the Center under difficult circumstances and for helping us locate materials. The entire team helped us feel part of a larger community even as we had to work apart from one another.

We owe thanks also to the Scalar team at the University of Southern California. Their commitment to public scholarship gave us the perfect platform for this project. They provided helpful technical support on a couple occasions when we encountered hiccups.
