Description
Many academic institutions across Texas now maintain significant digital collections of resources. The Texas Digital Library "What is Digital Librarianship?" Interview Series aims to provide a snapshot of the vast array of roles and responsibilities taken on by the people who work with these digital collections. These interviews highlight professionals working at Texas Digital Library-affiliated institutions, exploring both the tasks that make up their day-to-day jobs and the larger challenges of working with digital collections. In this installment, Misha Coleman talks with Rachel Winston, Black Diaspora Archivist at LLILAS Benson Latin American Studies and Collections, University of Texas at Austin. The interview covers serving the community from within a university archive, cultural heritage preservation, and the changing nature of digital work in archives.
