Archives After Dark Resource Guide

Archives After Dark

One Archives Item -- One Creative Product -- One Great Night

Description:
On Friday, January 24th, 2020, a group of no more than 20 student authors/creators will convene in the John Grant Crabbe Library to be inspired by items in Special Collections & Archives. Students will gather in the Noel Studio, where they will spend the night writing, creating, and polishing their works. The resulting creative works will be collected and published digitally and in print, and the authors/creators recognized during Scholars Week 2020.

Date and Time Commitments:

• We will offer an optional pre-event to tour Special Collections & Archives and view potential items on Thursday, December 5th, 2019, 5pm-6pm.
• Friday, January 24th, 2020, 7pm-7am in the John Grant Crabbe Library (yes, that's right, spend the night in the Crabbe Library).
• A mandatory student debriefing will take place on Thursday, January 30th, 2020, 5pm-6pm.
• A post-event one-on-one meeting with a Noel Studio consultant is required to initiate the editing process that will fully prepare the work for publication. The date will be determined by the participant and consultant.
