Human. Librarian. Eater of cake. Mostly interested in the history of Boston, women's history, and science fiction.

Conflict of interest statement

In full disclosure, I work at a library with archives and special collections in Greater Boston history, so I'm often editing articles related to the people and organizations whose papers are in those archives and special collections. I always strive to do this within Wikipedia guidelines on conflict of interest, but if you ever have questions about my editing pages related to collections in my library, please don't hesitate to contact me.

Primary and archival sources

I'm also interested in how Wikipedia and archival/primary sources are used in the high school and college classroom, particularly primary sources related to groups that are less represented in the larger historical record. I'm working on an edit-a-thon intro specific to special collections projects, with a focus on underrepresented groups, here.
