Guggenheim Library and Archives as a Pratt Institute\/School of Information Fellow. My project for this time frame was determined by a grant-funded, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.guggenheim.org\/library-archives\/library-archives-projects\/e-records-management\">electronic-records management project&nbsp;launched&nbsp;in 2014<\/a> to survey the state of internally created, born-digital records. Institutional records in this context contain valuable information related to museum and exhibition history and without an&nbsp;established workflow for permanent retention, important information could be at risk. Rapid development of technology and subsequent waves of obsolescence have produced sensitive formats in ever-changing digital forms. This period is critical for addressing ways to protect these files and make them available for public research in the future. &nbsp;For this case, the discovery of a backlog containing thousands&nbsp;of records over ten years old&nbsp;exposed the necessity of hiring a digital archivist to begin processing this collection as soon as possible; this was the focus of my fellowship.<\/p>\n<p>Presentation link: <a href=\"https:\/\/docs.google.com\/presentation\/d\/1u57fvo-9M-M0dBC8D1SXywP80dFEyEqf3IHW1PsR5Uw\/edit?usp=sharing\">Born-digital Archiving for Infoshow<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This project was  completed during a year long fellowship at the Guggenheim Library &amp; Archives, where I processed a backlog of born-digital, institutional records.
