About Me

[edit]

I am an archivist employed at York University Libraries. For the most part, I am concerned with improving access to primary sources held by my institution, and other local archives that I'm familiar with. I also keep an eye out for broken links to finding aids and digitized sources. I also try to pull in digitized works that are available from the Internet Archive to boost the free online resources that are available on a particular topic. I'm also working towards linking in our visual resources in the future. I'm invested in integrating the tools provided by the Wikipedia community into my professional practice and teaching.

Conflict of Interest Statement

[edit]

I am an archivist employed at York University Libraries. As such, I will provide citations, contextual information and links that draw directly from the archival holdings of the university, as well as other archives that I'm familiar with. Any edits I make to pages related to my institution will be neutral in tone, verifiable, and beneficial to the goals of Wikipedia. Should there be any concerns on the edits I make, please feel free to contact me via my talk page. I will review and modify my editing behaviour in response to any feedback indicating that I have contributed in a manner that contradicts Wikipedia’s conflict of interest guidelines. Please feel free to contact me via my talk page with any concerns.

Current Priorities

[edit]

From 2019-2023 I will be focusing on improving citations, content and linkages related to primary archival sources related to the Great Lakes Region and North-eastern Ontario, particularly in relation to the performing arts, local history, and community organizing. I'm also working on improving the citations and evidence for stub records for archivists and archival theorists. I also putter away at Women in Red campaigns from time to time.

Past Projects

In 2017-2018 I was involved in a pilot project related to Surfacing Knowledge, Building Relationships: Indigenous Communities, ARL and Canadian Libraries. I contributed to Wikipedia-edit-a-thons and Wikidata sets related to Indigenous artists, performers and political figures, particularly in relation to the Mariposa Folk Festival.
