Shelby White & Leon Levy Authors Guild Archives Initiative

The Shelby White & Leon Levy Authors Guild Archives Initiative is generously funded by the Leon Levy Foundation.

Funding has enabled the Authors Guild Foundation to assess the rich archives of the Authors Guild and launch the digitization of The Authors Guild Bulletin, our publication on publishing and legislative news. Early steps toward online access are underway, positioning this resource for meaningful public and scholarly use.

Together, these efforts are laying the groundwork for a fully accessible and actively used archive. The next phase of the project will focus on completing archival processing and digitization of the Bulletin, and on building out public-facing tools and interpretive resources to ensure the archive serves as a lasting asset for researchers, writers, and the broader public.

We are deeply grateful for the Leon Levy Foundation’s investment in this work, which is transforming the way the Authors Guild and Foundation preserve and activate more than a century of literary and cultural history.
