Jasmine Mulliken, SUP’s Production and Preservation Manager for Digital Projects, recently presented at the Association of University Press’s Annual Meeting which was held online June 5-16. I had the great privilege earlier this month of presenting at AUPresses 2023 alongside some of my favorite and most esteemed peers and collaborators in a panel we designed
Production and Preservation Manager Jasmine Mulliken participated in a panel at the International Internet Preservation Consortium’s Web Archiving Conference. Last month, I had the honor of presenting SUP’s digital publications as a use case for Browsertrix Cloud, a tool for the web archiving of complex, interactive, digital scholarly publications.

Last week I attended the DLF and DigiPres conferences in Baltimore.

“We are facing an archival moment” said Lorraine Daston recently in her talk “Big Science, Big Humanities and the Archives of the Year 3000”. The unease and uncertainty of this moment was palpable at the IIPC Web Archiving Conference in Wellington earlier this month.

From the Presidential election to the World Cup watch parties, it was an electrifying time to be in downtown Mexico City for DH2018. SUP’s digital publishing initiative was well-represented at the week-long conference, sending our Acquisitions Editor, Digital Production Associate, and Sales and Exhibits Manager. Our group demoed several of our digital publications, including the
The supDigital team is at DH2018 in Mexico City this week, catching up with friends and colleagues and meeting lots of new ones. If you’re here come say hi! We’re at the table at the top of the stairs above registration. You’re welcome to stop by and check out our latest interactive publications making waves
I’ve spent this week in Fort Worth, Texas at the Joint Conference of Digital Libraries. It’s a conference that brings together a somewhat surprisingly diverse set of people, from academics, to computer scientists, to web archivists, to, (of course) librarians. But despite its title, a show of hands at the first keynote indicated that only
