Seth Anderson, Harvard University Library, Summer 2011, IMLS
This summer, I interned with two institutions at Harvard University: the Schlesinger Library of the Radcliffe Institute of Advanced Study and the Harvard Film Archive. At the Schlesinger Library, I prepared data related to the Radcliffe College Archives audio collection for inclusion in a finding aid. This project required me to collect contextual metadata on this large collection and organize it for efficient use by students and researchers. In collaboration with the Harvard Film Archive, I worked on a project preparing a portion of the Harvard Business School’s 16mm film collection for preservation storage. The collection, consisting of industrial, educational and home movie films, was re-housed and technical metadata was recorded for later preservation work and cataloging.
