Susan von Salis, a long-time employee of the Schlesinger Library, has been hired to bring order—in the form of an online record system—to the archives of one of the largest museum systems in the world.
One month into her new job, Salis has begun wading through the forty file cabinets, many of which have not been organized since the 1970s, sorting, indexing and trashing as she goes.
“I think people didn’t know what to throw out and what to keep, so they just kept everything,” Salis says.
Salis says she hopes to eventually have the entire collection organized, annotated and catalogued, connecting the resources of all of the University’s museums.
“For someone in the general public, they really do care if a book is in Schlesinger,” Salis said.
