Archives across the country are going online and making their collections more visible and accessible. Last month, the University of Puget Sound Archives began participation in this grant project with my initial four-week site visit. In July, Puget Sound will become a member of the Northwest Digital Archives and descriptive information on 20 personal papers collections — and some of the university history collections — will be uploaded, making them visible to a much wider audience. I am also working closely with Collins Library staff to apply standards and best practices to all facets of the operation of the archives. A strong foundation is being built upon which a fresh, vibrant and engaging archives program will be realized. What do you want the University of Puget Sound Archives to be? Write back and let me know. –Elizabeth Knight
