The Unwritten HistorySince its inception in 1976, Franklin Furnace has presented what has come to be known as "variable media" artwork - works which take on new dimensions in each iteration. These works challenge the bounds of genre, varying in the meanings they take on contextually as well as in their physical deployment. The Unwritten History Project is Franklin Furnace's plan to make all of its archival event records accessible online. On May 11, 2006, the organization received notification that its proposal to the National Endowment for the Humanities to digitize and publish on its website records of performances, installations, exhibits and other events produced by the organization during its first ten years - had been funded. This project will create electronic access to what are now the only remaining artifacts of these singular works of social, political and cultural expression. On July 7, 2006, ARTstor and Franklin Furnace announced a collaboration agreement, ARTstor's first with an "alternative space." ARTstor is an educational initiative launched by The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation; its principal goals is to develop a digital archive of art images for non-commercial use in educational settings.
