Abstract
This chapter discusses the history of MAPP in light of our own research goals and shows how this digital project allows us each to make strides in our work individually as well as together. We address how we made first connections with each other and formed a group identity that enabled the building of MAPP, the writing of this book, and the reciprocal relationships that have grown up around our individual and collective research.

For excellent analyses of feminist theories of the archive in the digital era, see Wernimont (2013). ‘[F]eminist effects’ is Wernimont’s phrase, used in part to explore the intersectionality of feminist collaborative practice and digital cooperatives. See also Wernimont and Flanders (2010). See Tara McPherson for a broader cultural studies approach to the technosocial history of computing and why ‘[w]e must historicize and politicize code studies’ (2012, p. 153).
