Gathering Archival Information

After doing some research,  it was difficult finding some sort of archival information regarding The Contributor. There is a Homeless Museum in New York but is not to bring awareness to homelessness but to bring about a new social change in the art world. This led me to research artist that create art to bring awareness to homeless. As an art major, this is something that really grabbed my attention. I am unsure how this would influence my paper but it is definitely something that I would like to go deeper into. Looking directly on the Contributor website, you can view article posts that date back until March 2009. The website also offers press releases that could be very useful on gathering information regarding how the community views The Contributor. It is a good source to gain positive knowledge and feedback about The Contributor. There is a website called Street News Service that is an agency for street papers internationally. I am not sure how helpful this may be but it may be interesting to search for papers that are similar to The Contributor going beyond the US.
