I'm super novice when it comes to Wikipedia editing, but I'm not novice at all when it comes to archives.

My current archival processing work focuses on the urban development of the Los Angeles metropolitan region, as well as foreigners living in China before 1949. I previously worked as an archivist for over seven years at the Autry Museum of the American West. My academic background in early 20th century popular culture and American history. I have a BA in history from University of California, Santa Barbara, an MA in history from California State University, Northridge, and an MLIS from San Jose State University.
