Work with the Library and Ms. Goldsmith to prepare her manuscripts and career work for transfer to the New York Public Library, and archival work on her personal collection as well.

Rock 'n Roll Hall of Fame
2006 - 2007, New York

Worked with the New York-based curator of the Rock n' Roll Hall of Fame to build the basis of the future Rock n' Roll Hall of Fame Archive and Library. For one year we collected, appraised, catalogued and assessed preservation needs of material from musicians, record executives, recording studios and rock journalists in the New York area.

Department of Communications and Public Affairs, Yeshiva University
2007, New York

Developed an archival and records management plan for Yeshiva University's Department of Communications and Public Affairs. This department holds Yeshiva publications dating back to the 1930's; my work enabled them to be used for research, reference and as inspiration.


Museo Judio de Sosua Archives

2006, Sosua, Dominican Republic

Created the archive of the Museo Judio de Sosua in Sosua, Dominican Republic. This museum holds a deteriorating collection of documents related to Jewish presence in the DR, a collection that had not been looked at for close to 60 years. Through grant funding I was sent to preserve, organize and save these documents.


New-York Historical Society Prints, Photographs & Architectural Collections

2006, New-York Historical Society, New York

Processed the John Albok Collection for the New-York Historical Society. Albok photographed street scenes in Manhattan for over 50 years, but his beautiful work had never been accessible at NYHS before I create the finding aid. You can view the finished finding aid here.
