Abstract
The way literary readings, talks, interviews, podcasts, book launches, and other types of literary discourses are presented and celebrated has changed dramatically in recent years due to the pandemic. Hundreds of hours of recorded information and data have resulted from online presentations, live recordings, and internet platforms such as Zoom, Youtube, and Facebook. With this in mind, SpokenWeb has chosen to develop the “Archive of the Digital Present” (ADP) as a platform for processing and storing these recorded materials of the pandemic period on a single site that everyone can access. This article discusses the design of the website's front-end, including design and usability testing. At the time of the article's publication, the team working on the front-end development includes authors Alexandre Bustamante and Eva Lu, with faculty and librarian supervision by Tomasz Neugebauer, Jason Camlot, and Francisco Berrizbeitia, and programming by research assistants Sukesh Gandham, Ben Hynes, Max Stein, Mathieu Aubin, Ben Joseph (from SFU), and most recently, Brijesh Lakkad.
