A few of my major projects/reports, demonstrating the breadth of my work to date. All files PDF.

Preservation Report: The Stearns Collection of Musical Instruments (2008)
A condition and preservation report on a rare music instrument collection at the University of Michigan School of Music. Covers history, storage, climate control, database work, digital preservation and recommendations. Written with Sanam Arab, a fine scholar and librarian.

Triage: Short-term Preservation Guidelines for Found Media Objects in Cultural Heritage Collections (2010)
Just as the title suggests. Short-term preservation refers to the period between the discovery of the object in the collection and the decision to accession or dispose of the object, a period generally not exceeding 12 weeks. Written in fulfillment of an internship located at Safe Sound Archive in Philadelphia, PA.

An Outcome-Based Evaluation of Faculty Use of the 7FAST Pilot Program (2010)
The final report for a class on outcome-based evaluation. I conducted about half the interviews, designed the graphics in the report, edited the final paper and wrote the executive summary and most of the outcomes. Written with Joseph Dresch and Sarah Raezler.

Frank Stella: The Construction of an Artist (2010)
An examination of how Frank Stella's reputation was established, and how his print work in particular demonstrates the "solo artist" theory. For the record, I am a huge fan of Stella's work. Final project for a class on material culture studies.

An Appraisal of the Digital Art Museum (2010)
Analyzes the digital art museum, particularly in the areas of autheticity, perception and the "aura". Also highlights the Adobe Museum of Digital Media as a special case. The final project for a class on Archives, Museums and Social Memory, which like the above class on material culture was taught by the infinitely marvelous Bob Frost.
