Thanks from some grateful archivists

Alice E. Brown papers part 4: An Alice Brown map index of my journey
Guest blogger: Mariecris.
The processing of the Alice E. Brown papers is close to an end. I will soon reach the destination of a fully processed collection. But to add a little extra excitement to my journey, I’ve talked with …
Alice E. Brown papers part 1: The beginning of the processing journey
Guest blogger: Mariecris

Archives and Athletes
Guest blogger: Mariecris
Anyone passing by the Archives the first few weeks of December may have seen a curious sight: me working behind a blockade of boxes. I wouldn’t say that I was “hiding behind my work.” But at times …
An archivist’s external memory
Being an archivist means always having something new to learn. This is Arlene. I’ve been with A&SC for just over 7 years now. So I’ve got a fairly good grasp on what collections we have–maybe not item or folder level–but …
