My main interests are in operationalizing a strong born-digital workflow in a working archives/special collections that has linkages to archival theory.

Michael Forstrom

My name is Michael Forstrom, and I'm an archivist at the Beinecke Rare Book & Manuscript Library at Yale. At Beinecke I spend a good part of my time processing and cataloging modern literary manuscript material, but I'm also responsible for managing the work around born-digital material in collections. I'm part of the Yale AIMS team, along with Mark Matienzo and others, and in addition to AIMS-related work, over roughly the past 18 months my efforts have been focused on establishing a digital preservation workbench here at Yale, standardizing workflows with colleagues in Manuscripts & Archives, and developing Beinecke's curatorial services and documentation.     

Looking forward to next week,

Michael Forstrom
