The Survivor Archives Project

One-Year Anniversary
Tuesday, the 11th of September, marked the 1-year anniversary of our first posted Survivor Archive. Since that day of last year we've posted a total of 17 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 to never give up and that you're never alone."

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 year.  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.

Important Update
It has become official that my dear friend, co-author of The Survivor Archives, Kristin Evans, can no longer commit to working on our monthly archives due to the numerous other obligations that have come up in her personal life. I still give her full credit for how much this project has grown in the past 12 months. With this development, the Archives project has been handed over solely to me. Due to my other obligations I will not be able to commit to posting the archives on a monthly basis at this time between school, writing my autobiography, etc.

There for it is my decision that The Survivor Archives will from now on be posted on a quarterly basis through out the year.

Posting is scheduled as follows for 2007 - 2008:

Winter 2007
December 22nd

Spring 2008
March 20th

Summer 2008
June 20th

Winter 2008
December 21st

There can be more than one survivor featured quarterly. This will simply make it more manageable for myself in being able to keep up with this project from now on. As always, if you have any questions please email me at trauma.survivors@gmail.com.


Thanks You & Hope Sent,
