Archives of American Art: New Deal and the Arts - Transcription Project Manager

Oral Historian

During my time at SANC I oversaw the newly created Oral History Unit. In addition to interviewing and archiving responsibilities, I worked on audio projects and created content for use in department publicity and social media programs: 

• “Connecting the Docs,” Season 1, a podcast created by staff members of the State Archives who examine documents connecting to fascinating, true stories from the past. 

• She Changed the World Intern Blog Series:  I supervised 2 interns as they created audio blog posts from interviews I had with notable women around North Carolina.
