I converted multiple word documents and generated research to compile a spreadsheet of specific search terms and call numbers with over 800 results. I digitally reunited over 150 books confirmed in the Carvalho Monteiro Collection by uploading their images to an internal database, and updating their provenance and their location in the Library of Congress ILS using Voyager. I created an infographic describing the project, recorded a public presentation for the LOC website, and presented a lightning talk to members of LOC staff. I engaged in 10 weeks of professional development skill building and networking with the Internships and Fellowships Program. Show less
