Welcoming New Team Members!

We are thrilled to be welcoming two new student assistants working on special projects with the collection involving digitization, description of objects, creating videos, and other activities. We want to give them an opportunity to introduce themselves to everyone:

Hi! My name is Caroline Davis and am a second-year graduate student in Museum Studies! I grew up in Jacksonville, Florida, and attended Flagler College in St. Augustine studying Art History for my undergraduate work. I am interested in archival studies and collections management, especially oral history methods.

I have been working in the Smathers Libraries’ Special & Area Studies Collections for almost a year in various projects. Currently, I am working with the PCMC on processing and digitizing collections related to the Balboa High School.

Hello! My name is Azariah Rodriguez and I am a first-year graduate student in the Museum Studies program. For the next few months, I will be working with the Panama Canal Museum Collection here at Smathers Library to curate stories from everyday life in the Canal Zone. My first projects since starting has been finding what I can on the popular Cayuco Race and Canal construction equipment.

I am very excited to continue working with this amazing collection!
