My role as an archival assistant involves the accessioning, processing, and digitization of materials relevant to the university and wider Antigonish community. Utilizing RAD-compliant cataloguing via the Eloquent archival management system, I have been able to catalogue various types of materials, from paper records to born-digital items. I frequently conduct reference services, collaborate with fellow library staff to develop outreach events, and develop exhibits to bring attention to the archives and its collection.
