Hi everyone! I’m Emma Moros, and I’m a student at UBC where I’m pursuing a Masters in library and archival studies. I’m very excited to be joining Archer Archives this term from Vancouver (1400 km away!) as a co-op student.
I’m passionate about archives because of their connection to people’s and communities’ lives and stories, and I believe archives have a responsibility to care for not just these stories, but also the people and communities who entrust us with them.
You might (rightly) be wondering how I can work for the archives at the U of R from another city! I’m working on some fully virtual projects, including migrating finding aids (descriptions of archival collections to help people find what they’re looking for in the archives) into an online system, compiling examples of best practices related to equitable and inclusive archiving for the Archives to implement, and helping support records and information management work at the University of Regina.
I’m excited to see where my time with Archer Archives takes me — I’ve already learned a ton from the team here in my first few weeks!
