About


Open Door Archive is a digital repository and exhibition space dedicated to the print worlds and multimedia archives of multiethnic poetry in the Americas and beyond. As our name suggests, we commit to providing free and open access to understudied, neglected, or previously inaccessible materials. At present, Open Door focuses on periodicals, films, recordings, broadsides, letters and ephemera from modernism to the present, with an initial emphasis on the 1960s and 1970s. Open Door is a collaboration between scholars, poets, librarians, technologists and students.
