From November 6–9, 2025, the Society for the Study of American Women Writers (SSAWW) will gather for their tri-annual conference in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The 2025 conference will convene under the theme, “Understanding Histories, Imagining Futures,” which celebrates the first twenty-five years of SSAWW and its mission to promote and advance the study of American women writers through research, teaching, and publication, as well as looks ahead to the organization’s plans for the future.
During back-to-back sessions on Thursday, November 6 from 10:00-11:15 AM (EST) and 11:30 AM-12:45 PM (EST), workshop leaders Jessica DeSpain from the Recovery Hub for American Women Writers and Sydney Lines from the Winnifred Eaton Archive will lead a two-session workshop at the SSAWW 2025 conference on the basics of digital editing.
At their June workshop—to be held on June 18, 12:00 to 1:00 PM (Central Daylight Time)—the Recovery Hub will introduce participants to their template for producing digital editions. During the workshop, they will walk you through the process of using their Editorial Framework and provide some examples for how you might use it for your research or in the classroom.
At their July workshop—to be held on July 9, 12:00 to 1:00 PM (Central Daylight Time)—the Recovery Hub will discuss project management. During the workshop, they will explore strategies and resources for managing a digital humanities project—whether they’re solo or collaborative.
At their August workshop—to be held on August 6, 12:00 to 1:00 PM (Central Daylight Time)—the Recovery Hub will discuss some ideas on how to bring digital project—either of your own or others’—into the classroom. As digital projects give students access to texts and scholarship, get them thinking critically about how technology mediates the humanities, and provide models for their own work, this session will talk about ways to translate those objectives into assignments and classroom activities.
