During my first week at the Mayme A. Clayton Library and Museum I cataloged, developed condition reports, shelved and was introduced to cloud computing . Currently, the NEH has a grant that provides funding to encourage innovation in the digital humanities. My main duty at the moment is to write a grant that would fund a symposim to discuss cloud computing as a viable means to organize and provide access to digital items in an archive. Some of the participants I hope to include in this symposium is the archivist at Sony (a friend of MCLM), a digital preservationist, and local M.L.I.S. students.
At the end of this month, I will begin my personal project of processing Mayme A. Clayton's personal papers. Some item will be pulled for digitization and included in the cloud.
