MIT Libraries CLIR/DLF Postdoctoral Fellow in Software Curation
Cambridge MA
Currently, I am a CLIR/DLF Postdoctoral Fellow in Software Curation at the MIT Libraries. In this role, I am leading an investigation to broadly inform the Libraries about immediate and long-term implications of collecting and curating software and of providing software curation services to our community.
I received my PhD in Information Science in 2016 from the School of Information & Library Science at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. My dissertation explores the experiences of historians using digitized archival photographs as sources of evidence. While at UNC-SILS, I conducted Mellon-funded applied research for BitCurator, an open-source digital forensics software environments for archivists.
