Expertise and Activities
As Archivist for the Wisconsin Center for Film & Theater Research (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.
I've been WCFTR Archivist since 1979. My scholarly interests include the history of the theatre and theatrical performance, and the history of photography. I have a personal interest in acting and writing for the theatre, television and radio. I have done voiceovers, commercials and instructional videos. I'm married to Patrick Ducey, a wine distributor. I have a son (Quinn), a cat (Buddy), a dog (the amazing Stuart), and an albino rat (Friskers, aka Ratty Girl.)
