Extent

14 websites in 14 archived websites.

Scope and Contents

The Judson Memorial Chruch web presence focuses on its upcoming events and ongoing service projects, solicits donations, provides information about services like a gym and childcare program, sanctuary churches, art events, and posts video sermons and photographs of church activities. The series also includes the original defunct Judson Memorial Church website, http://classic.judson.org/, as well a number of Tumblr blog projects related to activism in Washington Square Park, protest posters, reproductive rights, and the John La Farge designed stained glass windows. The series also contains their newsletter, Judson's Digital Fountain.

Other activism documented in the series includes the Bring Jean Home action campaign and the Empathy Project. The Empathy Project toolkit includes resources to promote discussions, reading groups, worship services, and counseling in order to help a church be better prepared to support women and families in making decisions about reproductive health, abortion, and sexuality.

The Judson Memorial Church YouTube channel features videos containing sermons; highlights from Magic Time, Bailout Theater, and the GYM performances; choir performances; social justice lectures and events; protest footage; and other music and dance performances. In 2020, Judson shifted to online Sunday services due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Appraisal

Crawl was limited to domains and subdomains of judson.org, tumblr.com, us2.campaign-archive.com, bringjeanhome.org, theempathyproject.org, and eepurl.com in order to remain within the collection scope and data constraints.

In 2023, YouTube URLs were changed to better capture the videos on the channel.
