I need volunteers to help me out with The Survivor Archives Project. I need help keeping up the Survivor Archive myspace and facebook page, with requests for being featured, with keeping the library updated, and with keeping The Survivor Journal updated. There are lot of people to keep track of who've contacted me at some point in time. In the past I've tried to remind them that they'd requested to be featured and how is their submission for going? This year, not so much, and I don't see that changing any time soon. I need volunteers to help me out with this.

Contact me at volunteer@survivorarchivesproject.com and we'll get you set up to start rocking the Survivor Archives Project. See all positions available below (minus Project Coordinator - some silly short chick has already taken it).

As you can probably tell, the Survivor Archives Project has been on hiatus for the past year.  Apparently when you move across the country, start going to school full-time, working part time, volunteering for the Army of Angels part-time, and starting a new relationship - all over the span of one year - things you did before fall by the wayside as you try to adjust to all the other new stuff. 

Now that I've finally readjusted to everything I want to put a few hours a week into the Survivor Archives once again.  And, as you can tell, to make up for lost time, I've made some changes to our website.  Yay!


CHANGES
New Layout
Isn't it pretty?  I think so!  But if there are any changes or additions you think I should make I'm always open to constructive criticism.
 
Survivor Library
I've added a new section to our site.  It consists of pages listing suggested reading (including books written by past featured survivors!).  When one can't afford therapy, there are workbooks that can help.  There are also stories that have been written into book-form by survivors which testify to the fact that you can heal and lead a joyful life.  I've read many and have found them each to be enlightening, inspiring, and empowering.  
 
Updated Resources
I put a lot of time into organizing and adding many new links into our Resources & Support page.  Our resources page is linked via Help4Trauma.org, a site I started back in '04.  This allows me to update both sites at the same time with new sources of support for survivors of trauma.  This is practical, not lazy.  ;) 
 
Featured Survivor Updates
Over the next few months I'll be posting updates on survivors who've been featured in the past.
 
New Survivor Journal Article
I've added a new research article into the Survivor Journal.  It's from a project I did on the effects of adverse childhood experiences.  I wondered about what, if any, long term health problems found in adult survivors of childhood trauma.  Check out my findings, I think you'll be amazed at the results.  I know I was. 
 
2009-2010 Schedule
There will always be new links, articles, and books to check into.  I'll add those quarterly.  I'm going to do my very best to have a new featured survivor for everyone to check out also on a quarterly basis.  However, this part I don't have complete control over.  This site is not just mine.  It also depends on the sharing of others through the option of being featured.  So survivors who've healed, keep sharing how you've done it with those needing hope through the Survivor Archives.  I'll keep posting your archives quarterly.  The schedule for the coming year is as follows...

WINTER
Monday, December 28th, 2009

SPRING
Monday, March 15th, 2010

SUMMER
Monday, June 14th, 2010

FALL
Monday, Sept 27, 2010
 **4 Year anniversary edition celebrating past featured survivors

Help Needed
Unfortunately I don't have as much time to keep up with requests, comments, and questions.  I need volunteers to help me out with this.  I need help keeping up the Survivor Archive myspace and facebook page, as well as with requests for being featured.  There are lot of people to keep track of who've contacted me at some point in time.  In the past I've tried to remind them that they'd requested to be featured and how is their submission for going?  This year, not so much, and I don't see that changing any time soon.  I need volunteers to help me out with this.  Please contact me at joanna@survivorarchivesproject.com if you're interested in helping out.
 
Donations
Also, there's a button on the left menu bar available if you might like to contribute financially to the upkeep of our website.  Annually, this site only costs me about $150 per year.  While it isn't much thats still money I could otherwise spend on food.  Hee hee.
 
Spread the word!
Spread the word about this project!  Contact me and I'll send you pre-made bulletins you can use to post on blogs, as Myspace bulletins, as emails, etc.    Link to us, blog about us, tweet about us!


Love & Hope Sent,

Joanna M. Doane
Co-Founder & Project Coordinator

Army of Angels 24 Hr Blogathon 
 
 The Army of Angels

This Friday, Jan 9th, Army of Angels manager, Joanna Doane, will be blogging 24 hrs straight in order to raise money for Angela Shelton's Army of Angels.  This national advocacy group works to raise awareness about the silent epidemic of abuse and trauma that plagues our nation in order to prevent it from spreading into the lives of another woman, man, child, or family.  They're growing in numbers and teaming up with organizations who share their vision of living in a joyful world.  

Starting at 8 am on the morning of January 9th Joanna will be posting a blog every half hour for a consecutive 24 hours straight!  She is seeking donations for sponsorships either on a per hour basis or for a lump sum.  This idea is similar to walk-a-thons where individuals are sponsored per mile walked in order to raise money for various causes.  Only, with blogathons, money is raised per hour spent blogging.   

So please join her on the 9th/10th at www.24hrarmy.wordpress.com.  You may sign up to sponsor her there by filling out the form provided.  All donations will be accepted up until 8pm on Saturday the 10th and are to be made to the Angela Shelton Foundation which is tax deductible.  Donations can be made by check to the mailing address provided at www.angelashelton.org.  They can also be made via pay pal through the same website.   To find out more about Angela Shelton's Army of Angels please visit their website at www.armyofangels.net.

2 Year Anniversary
Thursday, the 11th of September, 2009 marked the 2-year anniversary of the first posted Survivor Archive. Since that day I've posted a total of 22 archives, introducing some amazing individuals to like-minded survivors of abuse and trauma across the world-wide web.

Each featured survivor who choose to make their voices heard did so with a unified message:
"Remember that you're never alone and to never give up."

Through art, poetry, literature, and music each of them spoke out, standing as human examples of what it means to face life's struggles head on, refusing to be beaten by them.

For this month, and for each future yearly anniversary (for as long as I can keep this project going) I've chosen to go back through the past years.  You're invited to read through the past year's archives, in honor of those who've stood up and made themselves heard. Please leave your thoughts and comments. Each featured survivor worked hard in putting some very painful and difficult experiences into words to both help themselves and to reach out to others.

Dear Readers:

The Survivor Archives Project has a new web page URL and a new email address.  I hope that this will simplify locating our homepage and communicating with me in the future. 
 
Our new web address is at www.survivorarchivesproject.com.  The new email address for The Survivor Archives is joanna@survivorarchivesproject.com.  That is the email address I will be using from now on so please update your existing contact information. 
 
The publishing of our Summer '09 Survivor Archive is complete so you'll be receiving that email immediately!  I'm also in the process of updating the Survivor Archive's resources page.  The current page is here.  I have over 30 links to add thus far and I'm dividing the sections up into different pages to make it less cluttered and easier to navigate.  If your link to your website isn't yet on there let me know just in case I don't have it on my list of links to add.  If you know of any links I should add outside of what you're particularly involved in let me know.   
 
I should probably also let you know that I'm in the process of relocating from Springfield, OH to Mesa, AZ.  So please bare with me if responding to your messages takes longer than usual.  I will most likely not be available at all from Monday, July 28th through Monday, August 4th due to the move.     

Again, please update your contact information so that theres no confusion in the future.
 
Much Thanks & Hope Sent,
 
~ Joanna M. Doane
