The Humanities Collections and Reference Resources grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities will fund the digitization of 1991–2011 issues of American Craft, which will then be added to the ACC Digital Collections.
A grant from the Council on Library and Information Resources (CLIR) Recordings at Risk program supports the digitization of 275 audiovisual recordings—dating from 1959 to 2006—in the ACC’s archives of artist interviews, panel discussions, and more. Among the recordings is rare video footage from the 1971 South Central Regional Assembly’s Craft-In, which was highlighted in the Spring 2024 issue of American Craft. We look forward to sharing many of these recordings through our newly redesigned website. Stay tuned!
Beth Goodrich, aka The Crafty Librarian, has been the American Craft Council’s librarian and archivist since 2017.
