Finishing Up the Grant to Preserve Flash and Shockwave E-Lit Works
Since late April I have been working on a grant submission that would provide funding for the ELL Team to use Rhizome.org’s Webrecorder to preserve electronic literature works produced with Flash and Shockwave from 1996-2016 that are archived in the 12 journals, anthologies, and showcases held in the ELO Repository. WSUV gave me seed funding so […]

They then reviewed […]

This meant we had to examine over 1500 works in the various collections held by ELO, identify those that were […]
Preparing to Preserve Flash E-Lit
We kicked off Week 1 of our data collection for the “Preserving Flash Works” project with a tutorial on Rhizome.org’s Webrecorder by Dragan Espenshied, Lyndsey Moulds, and Anna Perricci.
