Accessioning Archivist
Harvard Faculty of Arts and Sciences
Houghton Library

I handle accessioning manuscripts and archives for Houghton's six curatorial areas, which for archives means creating baseline-level finding aids. I've also been involved for some years with building our ability to handle born-digital content, and this means collaborating with great colleagues across Harvard and beyond. I serve on our reading room desk a few hours each week and am truly interested in what researchers want and need from us in technical services.
