The Office of Special Collections was founded on a simple insight: important stories are preserved when archival systems work is done right.

My work began twenty years ago at a local historical society and has expanded to institutional archives—the Library of Congress, National Archives, and the British Library. I learned how preservation infrastructure functions, where it succeeds, and where it systematically fails. This isn't just research skills. It's systems expertise.

What We Offer:

Organizations need someone who understands both the technical infrastructure of preservation and the institutional contexts that shape what gets saved. Someone who can:

• Navigate complex institutional archives and preservation systems

• Design archival workflows that don't flatten institutional narratives

• Extract accessible stories from properly maintained infrastructure

• Identify systematic preservation failures and address them
