I am a professional Librarian and Archivist specializing in physical collections of personal and small business materials (personal papers, books, notebooks, photographs, files & documents, cassette tapes, DVDs, vinyl records, misc. audio and visual formats, physical items, etc). I am also a musician and artist and much of my experience involves various media types and formats, delicate historic materials and unique collections.

I will assess, sort, organize your collection and make your items findable. I can also digitize certain materials so you can easily access them from a computer, phone, etc.
