Special Collections and Archives Assistant
A Typical Day at the Library
I assist the Archivist and the Special Collections Librarian in a variety of ways. I'm involved in the physical care of rare books and archival materials as part of our ongoing conservation efforts. I perform the initial step of book appraisal and archival record descriptions. I occasionally assist with research projects related to local history and genealogy.
