Working as the Studio Coordinator for the Soapbox Community Print Studio in Philadelphia, her practice has continued to expand towards a focus on arts education and community-building through the shared preservation and community use of book arts technologies.<\/p>\n

Daylon organizes, catalogs, and places archives, ephemera, and primary-source documents with universities and museums around the world. As a member of the Antiquarian Booksellers Association of America (ABAA), he also buys and sells books, periodicals and ephemera and locates rare and out-of-print publications.<\/p>\n

Whitney Trettien\u00a0<\/b>is an Associate Professor of English and Faculty Director of the Price Lab for Digital Humanities.

Her first book is Cut\/Copy\/Paste: Fragments from the History of Bookwork. She is currently working on a second book on the history of digital text.

In 2021, Roberto was accepted to Eastern University\u2019s Prison Education Program.
