As a certified archivist I help cultural heritage institutions achieve access to their unique historical materials through archival preservation and distribution of collection guides to research gateways.I partner with cultural heritage organizations including; research libraries, special collections, community archives, museums, historical societies, landmark commissions, corporate archives, religious organizations, nonprofit groups, and individual families.When you team up with a certified archivist you are guaranteed to work with a professionally trained preservationist using the most efficient, effective and affordable techniques to improve access to your cultural heritage collections. My approach is to make your historical materials as useful and accessible as possible while applying professional archival standards, controlled vocabularies, and minimal processing techniques. I have designed archival facilities and developed an archives research library program from the ground up. I am experienced with delivering web-based collection guides to the Online Archive of California and media-based materials on Calisphere and Omeka. I secured a $500,000 capital construction grant to build a research library, implemented and administered ArchivesSpace and Archivist’s Toolkit archives management applications, and have over 20 years of experience as a project manager in information technology and nonprofit governance.
Listed skills include Project Management, Archival Processing, Encoded Archival Description, Web Content Management, and 23 others.
