Scholarship shouldn’t evaporate.
You’ve organized an important workshop that gathers leading scholars of your field. Everyone contributes forward-thinking pieces on future research directions. The conference ends, participants go their own way—and the intellectual work it produced largely vanishes. Sound familiar?
Scholarship deserves better than a forgotten folder called “Workshop2023_FINAL_v2_REALFINAL.pdf.”
We make it easy to keep papers online, organized, and accessible—no expensive hosting, no institutional servers that mysteriously disappear, no endless email chains asking “Hey, do you still have a copy of that thing?” Our sites run on GitHub Pages, a free, stable platform that keeps workshop and conference work available to anyone in the world, long after the event itself is over.
The sites are built with Xanthan, which provides a clean, elegant design without requiring web development skills. You focus on the ideas; the platform handles the rest. It’s a model built on the values of open scholarship: transparency, sustainability, and access for everyone.
Histories of the Future
In early 2015, a group of historians of science gathered at Princeton to discuss representations of history in science fiction. Using a prototype version of the platform that Amaranth uses today, the workshop’s proceedings, participants, and existence remain well-preserved with literally zero upkeep or maintenance.
