A heroine's quest : or how I became an archivist's assistant.

In the summer of 2016, I worked as the Project Assistant on the William R. White Papers at Baylor University’s Texas Collection and University Archive. I worked 40 hours a week preserving and processing the collection while supervising an undergraduate worker. I also spent one day a week working at the Reading Room Service Desk. During my time at the Texas Collection, I was able to process and arrange the collection into its current state of over 200 document boxes, author a finding aid, and help assist patrons when necessary.
