Hello All, Let me include my thanks to all involved in this initiative! Along similar lines to Kate's post where this list might not reach everyone: Since this is a FEAST initiative, but addresses creating a SWIP archive, it might be very appropriate to post a notice to SWIP-L. While many SWIP members are also FEAST members, we should not assume the membership is identical. It may well be that some SWIP members are not also FEAST members, and they might have some very important archive-worthy material. Cheers, Christina M.

After this weekend's meeting and some discussion with our senior advisers when we can all coordinate a time to do so, we will certainly let everyone know where to send materials. On one hand, we have not decided on a location yet and even if we do, we have to obtain funding. On the other hand, you are right to point out that a central email will be helpful for others to use should they have something to send immediately. We have already collected all the names and materials offered onto one list that those on FEAST have mentioned in July. We will put out a call for more, but the FPAP committee needs to decide how to handle this best in the short term first. Much appreciated, Christina and Samantha ________________________________ From: Kathryn Norlock [[log in to unmask]] Sent: Friday, July 19, 2013 1:44 PM To: Christina Rawls; Feast List Subject: RE: FPAP Committee and Listserv Address Samantha, Christina, and all: Thanks so, so much to the organizers, senior advisors, and to the volunteers who must have stepped forward as well! I have one burning question which I'm posting FEAST-wide since I might not be the only one who needs the following answer: I heard from someone who's not always on email and who already wants to know where to send archive-worthy materials, so in the interim, while you're setting all this up: Is there a postal address and/or email, just one, where materials can go *at this time*? Or must those with materials hold off until they hear?

Please pass it along to any and all others. We are thrilled about the project and being a part of it! I am speaking here on behalf of the current FPAP committee, but I am by no means the only spokesperson. 1. The FPAP is official, as stated in the last email to FEAST yesterday. Although there was concern at first about its need, it is clear FPAP can accomplish a lot and help guide the process of creating the SWIP archives in all aspects near and far. We thank Kelly H. Ball for her efforts this past week. 2. FPAP Co-Coordinators are Samantha Noll, Michigan State University, and myself, Duquesne University/John Carroll University. (We are willing to send others our CVs for familiarity or if desired. Samantha has several years experience in gender studies and eco-philosophy, as well as writing grant applications for funding. Recently she was a part of a team who was awarded a large NEH grant ($198,000) and another grant ($20,000) with the Kellogg Biological Station at Michigan State University. She is an incredible asset for the FPAP as we look to obtain funding.) 3. Senior Advisers: Alison Jaggar and Ann Garry (Very exciting and wonderful news, we are so very grateful for their willingness to advise us on this project!) 4. Currently, the FPAP meets every weekend. In addition, Samantha and I will also be able to meet in person once each month if needed. 5. Several others have come forward volunteering their services, both directly and from behind the scenes. One of these individuals is Richard Lynch, Depauw University, who both works in Feminism and Women/Gender Studies, but who also has experience with archives as well. We have several individuals who have offered to answer any and all questions we may have regarding this project who work in archives, including librarians across several universities. 6. We are seeking more volunteers to help coordinate the various details of this on-going project. Please email our new Listserv if interested. Several members of the coordinating committee for FEAST have also offered to sponsor FPAP officially. We welcome this suggestion with great enthusiasm! 7. Currently, we welcome Brown University's Feminist Theory Archive interest in the project. Joan Callahan has offered to stay in contact with the curator there and include Samantha and I in the discussions. We feel Brown is a great location, most certainly, and are grateful for all those on FEAST who have suggested it as a potential location of the SWIP archives. The reason we are not certain yet includes, among other things, that we have located a SWIP archive already in existence (in the Sophia Smith Collection) at Smith College in MA. This archive is said to hold SWIP early materials from 1972 to 1982. We are in the process of contacting them and seeking advice about either allowing them to stay there or moving everything into one place. We welcome all feedback on the FPAP Listserv of course. We are, of course, very appreciative of Brown University's present willingness to consider housing the archives... 8. Any and all questions, suggestions, archives you have located of your own or would want to donate, and all related can be sent to the new FPAP Listserv address. One of us will try to respond in a reasonable time frame. Currently, we have a running list of all who have emailed FEAST within the last month (when this project and committee was suggested upon the discovery of new materials from the beginning of SWIP) who are looking to donate the materials. We welcome all further materials that anyone would like to add to this list and will be in contact with everyone included there shortly. Although much correspondence will go through the new Listserv, we will certainly offer updates on the FEAST and SWIP lists as well along the way. FPAP Listserv: [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]> With respect, care, and gratitude we move forward.
