Retention of six permanent full-time jobs and creation of one temporary full-time position to expand the digitization and production of humanities e-books from the University of Arizona Press.

The University of Arizona Press will convert more than 400 humanities books into e-book formats to improve the organization's financial position, which has been destabilized by the COVID-19. The project will allow the Press to retain jobs while also increasing the availability of humanities scholarship, especially in Indigenous and Latinx studies, during the pandemic and beyond.
