Mission

The mission of the Recovering Democracy Archives (RDA) is to create a digital archive of lesser-known but important public speeches that remain hidden within the vaults of archival repositories or in obscure anthologies and historical publications. RDA is particularly focused on recovering speeches delivered by those challenging barriers that restrict equitable participation in civic life or promote the expansion of civic deliberation.

Submissions

RDA invites submissions of recovered speeches that fulfill its archival mission from educators, researchers, students, and other contributors. Submissions should include a recovered speech, historical context, and information about copyright restrictions. For more on submission requirements contact Shawn J. Parry-Giles, Ph.D..
