Candidate Statements:
Newsletter Editor
Madelaine Davis
MLIS Candidate
LSU School of Information Studies
As an MLIS student specializing in archival studies, I bring over a decade of experience in content strategy, digital publishing, and cross-platform storytelling—skills I’m eager to contribute as Newsletter Editor for the Museum Archives Section (MAS). My background includes leading editorial and brand development across museum-adjacent tech sectors, and I now apply that lens to cultural preservation and archival ethics, with a focus on inclusive, community-driven access.
My current work includes creating public-facing zine series and a sensory memory project exploring scent and grief, as well as academic research on ethical metadata practices. I’m deeply invested in connecting emerging and established professionals through clear, thoughtful communication, and I see the MAS newsletter as a powerful tool for sharing ideas, amplifying member projects, and highlighting the unique challenges and innovations within museum archives. I would be honored to steward the MAS newsletter and contribute to a vibrant, engaged archival community. Thank you for your consideration!
