welcome to another week in my life as an archivist! in this video I share my typical daily duties such as accessioning & processing collections, preparing donor paperwork, book cataloging, tackling endless backlog of material, and preparing for a volunteer orientation. I also chat about how I manage my time and projects along with a special partnership we started with Ancestry. Hope you enjoy getting a glimpse into what I get up to on any given week!
