NEW YORK and THE PERIODICAL PRESS
This site is a digital companion and archive for the two summer institutes I directed in 2015 and 2020, sponsored by the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH).
At the 2015 institute, faculty fellows participated in discussions led by experts in American periodicals; visited sites important to the rise of New York’s periodical press; attended Digital Humanities workshops; and read scholarship on periodical history and pedagogy. Because of the pandemic, the 2020 institute was held fully online. While we were unable to access the archives and streets of New York in person, participants considered issues related to space and place, social justice, and press freedom with renewed urgency.
Here, I invite you to explore the influence of New York City on its publications as well as the influence of these publications on the city, nation, and world. The site features taped lectures, virtual walking tours, reading lists, and additional resources developed at the institute, aimed at fostering continued discussion and inquiry.
Thank you to the many City of Print participants who have contributed to this site.
