Welcome to DUPA, the Drew University Participatory Archive. DUPA is a digital humanities project with the mission of creating a decentralized grassroots digital collection of both original and archival media through the direct contributions of students, faculty, staff, archivists, librarians, and the broader Drew community. The DUPA project is made possible through the generous support of Digital Humanities @ Drew, an interdisciplinary initiative funded by a grant from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation. If you are interested in learning more about this project, contact jblatter@drew.edu.
