From the 1990s-2004 I studied and taught the history of early modern Europe and Germany. From 2007-2010, I earned a degree in library science, concentrating on archives and special collections. I am currently Assistant Archivist and Digital Collections Specialist at Springfield College as well as consultant to the Nolumbeka Project, Inc., a Native American research organization. I am also collaborating with an Amherst College professor on design of a seminar aimed at facilitating deep and sustained engagement in archival research by upper level undergraduates.
