I was appointed President at the Center for Research Libraries in November, 2024, to lead the Center’s work to preserve and share knowledge by collecting and stewarding the record of human expression in partnership with its members.
Prior to this, I served as Director for Preservation at the Library of Congress, responsible for the work of the Directorate’s four Divisions — Collections Management, Conservation, Preservation Services, and Preservation Research and Testing — and for working with staff across the Library to provide “universal and enduring” access to the Libraries collections.
Before joining the Library of Congress, I served in leadership roles and developed preservation programs for the New York Public Library, UCLA, Indiana University, Brooklyn Historical Society, and the Research Collections and Preservation Consortium (ReCAP).
This site collects my presentations, publications, press, and incidental writing, and serves as portfolio for various projects and case studies, largely about preservation—the practical activities that give life to ideas like stewardship, sustainability, accessibility, and usability, that are at the core of what libraries, archives, and museums are all about.
