The role of the UNCW Archivist is to document the history of the University of North Carolina Wilmington and to make this primary-source material accessible.  The UNCW Archivist selects, organizes and preserves official and unofficial records of the University of North Carolina Wilmington, including records of UNCW administrators; student, faculty, and alumni organizations; and other university-related collections in various formats.  I provide reference and instructional services for Archives and plan, implement and assess services for Archives.

I have a Master's Degree in Library Science from UNC-Chapel Hill and have been UNCW Archivist for 10 years.

What I am most proud of in Archives:

  • Managing an active archiving staff of student workers and volunteers
  • Conducting a visual oral history program of retired faculty/staff
  • Enhancing preservation standards in Archives
  • Digitization initiatives in Archives that expand access to archival resources to the Web and beyond
