I was primarily responsible was overseeing the archives that involved handling incoming patron research requests and incoming manuscript donation requests. I processed, arranged and described manuscript collections and created MS Word finding aids. I gave talks to local historical societies and wrote monthly columns in the "Southeast Missourian" that detailed an aspect of local history using our archival holdings. I also digitized photographs and documents for patrons and submitted items for inclusion in our organization's Facebook page.
