caitriThe little bib that could got
a rare honorable mention for the MLA Prize for a Bibliography, Archive, or Digital Project. It's extra exciting because the actual winner is this huge international opus, and then there's us with our feminist rage, can-do attitude, and shoestring-budget-via-digital-storefront.
Snip from the press release:
The Women in Book History Bibliography represents everything that is best about book
history and associated fields at the present moment—openness, inclusiveness, and a
willingness to protect and recuperate the past—while looking forward to a future for the
discipline that is comprehensive in its representation of the book and all those who
contributed their material labor to its many makings. The editors, Cait Coker and Kate
Ozment, have extended the culture of inclusion and openness within the field by
supplementing the resource with several forms of social engagement and responsiveness,
allowing the important recovery work of the project to evolve with the field and
reinforcing the fact that recovery work is necessarily ongoing and discursive.
I am damn proud!
