This is a very cool initiative. I'm curious, given your starting topics, if the intent is for this to be a purely political project of if you're planning to expand to other sorts of archives. (Two that strike me as fun off the top of my head are the Farm Resettlement Administration photos at LOC, and the Digital Comic Museum.)

At present there's no plan to do any deep dives on LOC or DMC.
Deep Dives is definitely geared towards political research and investigations.
We will be including more archives for research and also revisiting several of the larger archives that provide a substantial amount of material.
Thanks for checking it out ;)
I may give some thought to cloning your project for arts/culture specific work then. Didn't want to do that if it was going to get in your way, but it sounds like they could coexist just fine.
You won't be stepping on anyone's toes, and if you have the time and passion to dedicate to a project like that more power to you. Sounds like an interesting idea worth exploring, good luck with it ;)
