ACADIA is very excited to announce our new acadia.org website! Designed by the amazing Vera van de Seyp and Niko Dellic, the site is crafted to be both our online home with information about our organization, our events, and our community’s opportunities and as a research hub capturing our rich history. You can quickly find information in our 2D website version and dive deeply into a research rabbit hole in our 3D cosmos! While parts of the site are still in progress, we invite you all to visit and search around!
Our homepage features posts at the top about our organization: the conference, elections, awards, and announcements. Below are the running posts from the community as we have always had with tags to filter by opportunity. Expand the tree on the left to navigate the site. You can access a robust Search of the site, information about our conference and other Events, exciting Opportunities like job openings, grants, and workshops, the full list of our distinguished Award winners over the years, more information About membership, our organization, and our sibling and cousin organizations, and the portal to go between the 2D website and the 3D cosmos.
There are future phases to our website that will build out the membership platform so everyone can login, make a profile, and post opportunities or information for the community. In the meantime, please check the active member list under the About branch. Due to a different ticketing platform at last year’s conference and the migration of member lists, we may have gaps in those of you who either attended the conference or bought an annual membership. If you think you should be on this list, please forward your conference ticket receipt or membership receipt to membership@acadia.org and we will get you on the list!
In the meantime, please email membership@acadia.org with questions about your membership or becoming a member and email communications@acadia.org with posting requests and information. A weekly newsletter with new posts will come to your inboxes every Monday morning.
We will also be building out the research part of the website and the cosmos to make acadia.org a useful research based platform for our community looking at where we have come from, where we are and how we are connected, and where we can launch into the future. Inspired by our designed by Oliver Popadich, the cosmos uses made by Cultural History Project fellow Constantinos Miltiadis of Cultural History Project in 2023.
We aim to keep building out the website as a resource for our community and to build bridges with partners around the world through our conferences and our work.

As we migrate from our former site, we want to thank Elliot Larsen, the designer of our previous site, and Andrew Kudless, our long time webmaster and Technology Officer for over 14 years!
