DEPARTMENTAL ACTIVITIES
As Archivist for WCFTR, I collect, preserve, catalogue and make accessible the collections of the WCFTR, and related collections of the Wisconsin Historical Society. Collections include: manuscripts, film and television programs, publicity stills and other promotional graphics.  I administer the WCFTR Film and Photo Archive, and supervise the viewing room.

I assist UW students, faculty, and scholars, (from a variety of disciplines and countries) in the design and implementation of research projects using the collections of WCFTR and WHS. I serve as a liaison between Communication Arts students and other film/television/still archives.  I consult on archival research in cinema, television and theatre using primary source materials.  I consult on care and maintainance of motion picture film.
