My internship at Columbia University Libraries focused on risk and rights assessment in archival collections. Under Columbia’s head of copyright advisory, Rina Pantalony, I assessed three collections: The V.K. Wellington Koo Papers, The Wan-go H.C. Weng Film Collection, and the Theodore Richards Conant Collection. Each brought unique copyright challenges that I was tasked with identifying and creating viable solutions for within the time frame of the internship. My final deliverables included reference charts, analyzing risk assessment methods, and metadata analysis for rights related fields.
