[Personal_archives] Digital archiving practices of writers

[Hobbs, Catherine]

Thanks Michael.  I take it, then, that they are not associated with any
other projects involving archives/special collections institutions in
the study of writer's digital archives?  Makes for an interesting twist.

A colleague forwarded email from one of the co-investigators, Devin
Becker, introducing the survey as follows: 

I've put together a survey to study the digital archiving practices of
emerging writers.  My co-investigator, Collier Nogues (a poet with a
book coming out from Four Way) and I are trying to get a sense,
basically, of how people are saving/archiving their work, and how this
might affect their writing practices and the practices of special
collection librarians (like you) in the future. We're presenting our
initial findings at the personal digital archiving conference in San
Francisco next month.  

That's as much as I know at the moment. 
Cheers,
Michael Forstrom

Good morning,
Many of you might be interested in the following survey at the
University of Idaho to track the digital archiving practices of emerging
writers.  I'm afraid I can't dredge up any additional information but if
our U.S. colleagues can add to this, it would be appreciated.
