Digital Portfolio
Featured Project
Along with classmates I collaborated with the Northwest Museum of Arts and Culture when the museum was researching objects in their collection for an exhibition, American Inheritance: Unpacking World War II to write digital works within Spokane Historical to accompany the physical show. I edited and curated these stories as well as other existing stories within Spokane Historical and wrote four new stories to create the Spokane In World War II Tour.

I worked as a Graduate Student Assistant at the WSA for two years working on processing and digitization projects. I also wrote, researched, and edited articles for the archives news page (Treasures of the Archives) and email newsletter.

Processing and Digitization:
I helped to digitize Spokane County RealProperty Records Cards created by the county assessors office to assess the value of property from the 1940s to 2000.
I worked to check images taken of the Walla Walla Territorial Court Records (or Frontier Justice Records) for quality in order to have the images added to the digital archives. Roughly 2700 records were previously imaged, but with no quality control done the images needed review. I also created new procedures for imaging the remainder of the records in the series.
