I am a doctoral student and instructor at Drexel University's College of Computing and Informatics. My research focuses on peer history production communities and how they collaboratively build online archives. My research has implications for archival participatory practice and provides a foundation for the design of systems that support archives users as consumers and producers of historical materials.
