Worker Writers: Community Archiving in Action

By Jessica Pauszek

Worker Writers brings together conversations in community literacy, archival methods, and working-class studies to explore the process of collaboratively creating an archive focused on the Federation of Worker Writers and Community Publishers, a transnational writing network between 1976 and 2007. Detailing a decade-long collaboration, Pauszek explores the FWWCP Archival Project, which has enabled the creation of a publicly accessible print and digital archive of thousands of working-class community publications and administrative documents.

Additionally, this book:

Offers a framework for community partnership and archival work that explicitly accounts for working-class identities and class-based structures such as labor, finances, and precarious material resources.Provides insights on the embodied archival processes, useful for teams doing documentation work.Illustrates the possibilities of community-based archival work.Argues for the importance of preserving working-class writing and literacy.CCCC Studies in Writing & Rhetoric (SWR) Series
