LU Lone Arranger

"Lone arranger" is archivist-speak for someone who works as a solo professional, rather than as a member of a large team of archivists (a generalist rather than a specialist). In this weblog I will share announcements, responses to reference questions that have come my way, and some of my previously unpublished writings relating to Lincoln University and its Archives and Special Collections, located in The Langston Hughes Memorial Library of Lincoln University of Pennsylvania.

Location: United States

I was the Special Collections Librarian in Lincoln University of PA’s Langston Hughes Memorial Library from August 15 2005 - August 12, 2010, having served as Archivist Assistant in the same department prior to that, starting in 2000. My advanced degrees are an M.L.I.S. (Master of Library and Information Sciences) from the University of Pittsburgh and an M.A. (history) from West Chester University (PA), and I am a Certified Archivist (by ACA, The Academy of Certified Archivists). My undergraduate major (Bryn Mawr College) was anthropology.

Digital collections recently updated

The various digital collections that I reported on back in August '07 have been completed and are now available online. Most are on our Lincoln University server and available in pdf format from our website, but some are on the HBCU Library Alliance's Digital Collection Celebrating the Founding of the Historically Black College and University, with links from our website. So for both, go to: http://www.lincoln.edu/library/specialcollections/digitalcollections.html.

The collections on our own server will probably not be growing in the near future, but the HBCU Library Alliance collection is offering us a wonderful opportunity to expand our online holdings, and we expect to take full advantage of it! CLICK HERE for a direct link to Lincoln University of PA's contributions to that collection.
