RepoData
I was a co-author on the first study to analyze the threats of climate change to U.S. archives based on a very limited data set of large research institutions. Building off that research, my collaborator (Penn State archivist Ben Goldman) and I received a grant in 2017 from the Society of American Archivists Foundation to create a comprehensive data set of U.S. archives that captured smaller institutions. I’ve used this data set to build several mapping tools for archivists to visualize potential natural disaster and climate change impacts to archives in their region.

LIS journals reading calendar
I created a Google calendar with assigned days for a large number of library and information science journals. The calendar reflects my professional interests as an archivist/records manager working in higher ed, but the calendar is helpful to a large number of users.

At the 2011 Society of American Archivists annual meeting in Chicago, I presented a graduate student poster on Tulane University’s Louisiana Research Collection’s (LaRC) legacy finding aid project, including our workflows for migrating almost 500 paper finding aids online in less than a year. I presented on the same subject at the Louisiana Archives and Manuscripts Association meeting in New Orleans a few months later.
