Oral History Research and Transcription

Please visit their website for more information about the department and recent interviews. Interviews I worked on, including the Women's Art Registry of Minnesota (WARM) oral history project and an interview with Prince, are not yet publicly available. 

Exhibitions and Artist Files

As the Rosemary Furtak Intern, I assisted with library exhibitions and enhanced artist files. I focused on increasing the number of materials from and artist files on artists from the Women's Art Registry of Minnesota (WARM), expanding seasonal exhibitions, and broadening the selection of Indigenous artists' books in the artist book collection.  Here are images from a few exhibitions I contributed to, along with some artists' books that were acquired with my assistance.

Cataloging and Processing Collections

I processed and/or cataloged 12 collections, as seen below, of a wide range of materials. One of the collections is not included below because it is not available publicly. 

Collections Processing and Exhibition

During my practicum at Simmons University, I surveyed, processed, and curated a virtual collection of materials in Omeka, which is available via the Internet Archive below. 

Arts Production and Oral History

During the pandemic, I earned my Master of Arts in Arts Management and Creative Producing at University College Cork. While studying at the university, I served as the arts administrator and producer for the Out of Orbit Festival. My individual production for the festival, titled "Stories from Cork," was a collection of written and recorded stories from the local community. These stories were shared on the festival's website; however, due to agreements with the creators, they are no longer available to view.
