Archive old versions of Giving Power newsletter on the site

[knice]

A user should be able to see past issues of Giving Power magazine.

Need:

• Are past issues already archived somewhere else?
• What format are past issues stored in?

Don't know about this one. Is there some way to do this without building every newsletter both in iMods and in Jekyll?

[jhillard-ucsc]

The only format past issues are in is the iMods emails they were sent as. There is no archive as far as I know.
So any way we can make this happen? Do I need to build them as posts?

Email newsletter archives just don't gather much attention from web surfers. So you don't want to create time-intensive process. I'd consider two routes.

1. For each issue, create a simple post with a category 'newsletter' and add the content from the newsletter as list with headlines, teasers, etc. I'd leave out images. You're not going for identical appearance between the email and the web version--you're just presenting the same content in a different way. This way, you have a category for newsletters, and you're not bringing all of the added cruft of a newsletter to the web reading experience.
2. Print each iModules email as a PDF, develop a naming convention for the files, and archive them in a single folder on the website. This is the absolute easiest way to archive the newsletter.
