A Typical Day at the Library

As the Access and Processing Archivist at Davidson College, I am responsible for maintaining both intellectual and physical control over our archival collections. On any given day, you might find me reviewing newly acquired materials, assessing their condition, and determining the appropriate processing steps. This work includes arranging materials and entering descriptive metadata into ArchivesSpace, ensuring our collections are both accessible and discoverable.

I am deeply committed to connecting people with information and uncovering stories, knowledge, and context that might otherwise remain hidden. In collaboration with my colleagues in Archives and Special Collections, I strive to preserve and highlight the diverse voices and experiences of the Davidson community within the historical record.
