On campus: this project is scheduled to begin on 6/1/2026 and run for 10 weeks, finishing on 8/7/2026.

Project Description

This is a project to digitize the collected archives of the College Orchestra Directors Association. W&L was chosen from a pool of applicants to oversee the organization, archive, and digitization of these materials. This will be a special project that I hope to share with students to provide students valuable experience in archival processes and organization as well as provide insight into professional organizations.
