The Dean B. Ellis Library Welcomes Julia Corrin is our new Archivist specializing in digital collections. Visit Julia on the seventh floor whenever Archives and Special Collections is open. Julia Corrin received her Master of Science in Information from the University of Michigan, with specializations in Preservation of Information and Archives and Records Management. She also holds a Bachelor’s Degree in American Studies from Carleton College. Prior to coming to Arkansas State University she worked at the Bentley Historical Library at the University of Michigan and interned at the Center for Legislative Archives in Washington, DC. She also spent several years working in politics. While she is enjoying Arkansas, she remains fierce in her conviction, as a Chicago-native, that the Cubs are far superior to the Cardinals. |
