Quincy, Massachusetts, United States

I am an archivist in the Archives and Special Collections at a public library. We work to collect, preserve, research, and digitize materials related to the history of the city.

Norwell, Massachusetts, United States

Braintree, Ma

I am responsible for scheduling tasks for 5 of my coworkers, making sure every part of the workflow is covered throughout the day. I liaise with Harvard's Imaging Services and outside vendors to accomplish tasks ranging from digitization to parts replacement to book rebinding.

I analyzed and prepared materials for digitization by examining metadata, chopping books, and then scanning the paper on a high speed scanner. Post-scan, I ensured materials were then properly stored for shipment out of the library to underground vaults.
