The Sesow Press Archive established
The Sesow Press Archive established (July 2026) — an autonomous archival system built with Claude (Anthropic) that preserves everything published about Sesow, daily and automatically: articles saved as HTML and PDF with imagery and video, organized by year from 1975 to the present. Over 10,000 files, including full mirrors of press.sesow.com and press.danaellyn.com, a 38-video YouTube corpus (interviews from 2003 onward, the 2010 wedding, exhibition films), the original June 9, 1975 Lincoln Evening Journal, and Sesow's personal year-by-year archives from 1994 onward. Built for future researchers studying art, trauma and healing
