SGL Archival Consulting

I am an archivist with over ten years experience in archives, specifically performing and visual arts collections that defy traditional best practices. I can help you develop digitization plans, write grants to obtain funding, and connect you with vendors who prioritize artists and arts institutions.

As the manager of digital and special projects at La MaMa Experimental Theatre Club Archives (2018-2023) I oversaw the digitization and management of over 60 years of Off-off Broadway history. At NYU's Fales Library and Special Collections (2014-2017), I worked closely with artists to process their papers, and provide reference services to patrons of all kinds. At the New York City Municipal Archives, I collaborated on the design and implementation of the first comprehensive appraisal survey of the city's 400 year historical record.

As a consultant, some of my past clients include The Pierre and Tana Matisse Foundation, Jefferson Market Library (NYPL), the Grand Street Settlement House, and Whirl-i-gig as an advisor to the CollectiveAccess Development Team.

I hold a masters in Archives and Public History from NYU, and a BA in American History from Smith College. My goal is to find creative solutions, beyond the constraints of traditional practice, to empower artists to organize, care for, and use their own archival materials.
