The limited term position requires a complete inventory and itemized identification of all materials within the Huntington Institutional Archives collection. Which includes the records, photographs, architectural drawings, and sensitive materials concerning the history and documentation of The Huntington and the institution's various departments and daily activities beginning in 1909 into the present day. Once the collection has been identified, cataloged, recorded, labeled and barcoded my following tasks will include the clean up of existing finding aids as well as assisting in other barcoding activities within the library collections.

As an archivist within the Frank O. Gehry Papers project team, I contributed to the daily planning and processing of the collection. I processed architectural projects, materials, and managed the workflow for the coinciding digitization project. I frequently collaborated and communicated with colleagues and supervisors in discussing best practices and timelines while tracking inventory between two separate locations.During the pandemic work from home guidelines interrupted the physical processing tasks of the project. During this period my focus was redirected to the digital quality control for the project slides and the digitized architectural drawings. While working from home, I also contributed to transcribing projects within the institution; the Institutional Archives department and the Pre-Hispanic Art Provenance Initiative (PHAPI) in tandem with my own project tasks.

This required removing and replacing the books every week in a specified section within 9 ranges; each contained over 200 books.
