project, library curators, scholars and creative practitioners will come together in more direct working relationships to advance research &mdash; particularly with primary sources &mdash; and develop strategic collections.<\/p>\n<p>The USC Libraries Collections Convergence Initiative builds upon successful work by the Doheny Postdoctoral Fellows, in partnership with USC Dornsife&rsquo;s <a href=\"https:\/\/dornsife.usc.edu\/hist\/\">Department of History<\/a> and<a href=\"https:\/\/dornsife.usc.edu\/icw\"> Huntington-USC Institute on California and the West<\/a> and the libraries&rsquo; Discovery Fellow program. The initiative will be led by William Deverell, professor of history at USC Dornsife and director of the institute. In addition to serving as the project&rsquo;s first director, he will also manage the initiative&rsquo;s work in California studies.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;The Collections Convergence Initiative is an exciting opportunity to bring scholars, curators, researchers and collections together,&rdquo; Deverell said. &ldquo;It&rsquo;s just that mix that produces new knowledge and new pathways of collaboration and collegial interaction.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<div class=\"news-image-portrait news-image-right\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/migration-uploads\/Libraries2-2636.jpg\" alt=\"Portrait Right\" width=\"225\"><\/p>\n<p>Professor of History Bill Deverell is also director of the Huntington-USC Institute on California and the West. Photo by Peter Zhaoyu Zhou.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The initiative will begin with three pilot areas that reflect current collections strengths and which offer rich opportunities for multidisciplinary scholarship and creative production: the history of L.A., California and the American West, including study of the border regions; Holocaust, genocide and exile studies; and LGBTQ history and culture, particularly relating to West Coast activists and activism.<\/p>\n<p>USC Dornsife&rsquo;s Wolf Gruner, Shapell-Guerin Chair in <a href=\"https:\/\/dornsife.usc.edu\/jewishstudies\/\">Jewish Studies<\/a>, professor of history and director of the <a href=\"https:\/\/sfi.usc.edu\/cagr\">Center for Advanced Genocide Research<\/a>, will lead activities related to genocide and exile studies. USC Libraries Dean Catherine Quinlan expects to appoint a lead in LGBTQ history and culture before the end of the calendar year.<\/p>\n<p>Working with the directors of USC&rsquo;s centers, institutes and the USC Society of Fellows in the Humanities, Quinlan plans to expand the initiative beyond the pilot in years two and three.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;We&rsquo;re always working to align the development and use of primary-source collections with the needs and practices of USC faculty, students, researchers and artists as effectively and productively as we can,&rdquo; she said. &ldquo;This initiative is a new way of organizing library activities that puts library curators in direct, in-depth working relationships with the communities of scholarship that use the collections to produce new research, and in turn, help shape the collections&rsquo; development.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p><strong>An exciting opportunity<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The pilot will draw upon established collections and relationships as a foundation for the initiative&rsquo;s scholarly activity and public programming, particularly the libraries&rsquo; regional history collections and those of member archives in <a href=\"https:\/\/libraries.usc.edu\/databases\/la-subject\">L.A. as Subject<\/a>, the research collective for which USC Libraries serve as host institution; the libraries&rsquo; Holocaust and genocide studies collection and partnerships with the <a href=\"https:\/\/sfi.usc.edu\/\">USC Shoah Foundation-The Institute for Visual History and Education<\/a>; and the archival and art collections and programs of <a href=\"http:\/\/one.usc.edu\/\">ONE Archives at the USC Libraries<\/a>, which is the largest repository of LGBTQ materials in the world.<\/p>\n<p>Among the Collections Convergence Initiative&rsquo;s first-year priorities are establishing a program of visiting fellows and support for postdocs, identifying library curators in each area and developing plans to build collections in partnership with the initiative&rsquo;s leaders and visiting scholars. The initiative also will work with the <a href=\"http:\/\/polymathic.usc.edu\/\">USC Sidney Harman Academy for Polymathic Study<\/a> to further integrate primary sources into undergraduate research and learning experiences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n  <\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>USC Dornsife\u2019s William Deverell will lead the new project that will bring
