For the open Zoom discussions on "Archiving: What to Save, Where, and How" -- Thursday, March 11, 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. (EST) -- here are some questions that should be relevant:

1.          Why might (or might not) a scholar of rhetoric and writing studies want to undertake any kind of archival project with records and materials from their academic work? What purposes might it serve? And for whom?

2.          What principles have guided your practices of archiving your academic work? How have you decided what to save from your teaching, research, professional service, or other activities? How have you organized what you have saved? Share some stories and examples here.

3.          If your academic work collected or generated data that others might be able to use, what steps have you taken to assure that it is available to other researchers, teachers, or professional colleagues?

4.          What resources, materials, institutions, or groups have been helpful to your archiving practices?

5.          What questions would you like to have us consider in our conversations on archiving? What insights and experience would you like to share?

Conversations to be led by Cinthia Gannett and Shirley Rose
