Abstract
Over the last decade, there has been a concerted effort to transfer paper-based research articles and documents to online platforms that provide increased access and often are made available to users at no cost. The International Employee Assistance Digital Archive (EA Archive; https://www.EAArchive.org), housed at the University of Maryland, Baltimore, School of Social Work (UMSSW; https://www.ssw.umaryland.edu/) adopts this same philosophical position and has been building its repository while offering free public access to all of its contents since 2013. UMSSW has a long history of being a leader in the provision of master’s level education to social workers focused on EA and UMSSW provides an ideal foundation from which the EA archive was built and continues to flourish. The EA Archive is unique in that the University has a strong focus on digitizing a large amount of materials from historical documents that otherwise would not be available online or to the general public. Valuable ideas and lessons can be incorporated into the implementation policies and approaches of the EA Archive as we heed what others around the globe are contributing for greater open access to research materials. This article introduces Journal of Workplace Behavioral Health (JWBH) readers and authors to the EA Archive and encourages them to share their research as a way to promote open access to more global audiences.
