KULA: Knowledge Creation, Dissemination, and Preservation Studies is very excited to announce the launch of its first special collection, entitled “Endangered Knowledge.” Inspired both by initiatives addressing the precarious state of public information in the current political climate and, more broadly, by considering endangerment as a critical category of analysis, this collection explores issues underpinning the dissemination and preservation of “endangered” material—that is, records, data, collections, languages, ecosystems, and networks that are currently, or that might become, at risk of disappearing.

Guest edited by Samantha MacFarlane (UVic), Dr. Bethany Nowviskie (CLIR; UVA), and Dr. Rachel Mattson (UMN), this exciting new collection is comprised of 22 essays from a diverse array of disciplines and fields; composed by 34 authors—from academics, librarians, and archivists to grassroots organizers, activists, and artists—readers will find an assembly of articles including scholarly research articles, pedagogical reflections and teaching materials, and a set of ‘project reports’ that cohere around and engage with the concept of endangered knowledge.
