Staff

I oversee all Tufts Archival Research Center staff, collections, and services with primary responsibility for strategic direction, planning, management, and collection development.

I manage our digital archives, seeing born-digital objects through their lifecycle, from acquisition to preservation to access. I am also responsible for web archiving and caring for legacy digital media.

I manage TARC's public services operations to support research, teaching, and learning in the department and at the University. I oversee Reading Room operations, on-site and remote reference services, and in-person and online outreach efforts. I also oversee TARC's active teaching program, connecting faculty and students with resources in the archives. 

I am the archivist and lead researcher for the Slavery, Colonialism, and Their Legacies at Tufts initiative, a university-wide collaborative project examining the school's historical ties to enslavement in Massachusetts and beyond, the long presence and experiences of African descended and indigenous students on the university’s campuses, and Tufts' relationships with the historic Black and Afro-Native communities of Charlestown, Medford, Somerville, Boston, and Grafton. 

I work with our digitization initiatives and projects. This includes project management and development and implementation of policies, procedures, and workflows. I work with our repository, the Tufts Digital Library, and oversee Newspapers @ Tufts and our digital exhibits.

I manage transfers and donations of new material to the archives from departments, student groups on campus, and other donors, as well as ensure that all incoming collections receive a baseline level of description to ensure discovery and access. If you would like to donate or transfer records to TARC, please contact me.

I assist with archival processing, reference services, and other special projects that support the Tufts Archival Research Center’s administrative and collection stewardship responsibilities. I respond to general inquiries about the archives and research resources available at TARC.
