A slide deck showcasing my experience as the Pratt Institute Archives Fellow at the Brooklyn Museum. I created a finding aid for the Brooklyn Museum Art School  records and processed over 15 Hollinger boxes of materials for access restrictions.

As the Brooklyn Museum celebrated its 200 year anniversary during the 2025-2026 academic calendar, I had the honor of processing one of its collections that was featured in the “Breaking the Mold: Brooklynn Museum at 200” exhibit. This collection was the Brooklyn Museum Art School (BMAS) records. The BMAS ran from 1941-1985 and it’s collections features exhibition records, programming records, department administration and faculty files.
