Meet Danielle Nowak, Access Services Librarian, the Sterling Morton Library

---

Abstract

I was first introduced to archives my senior year as an undergraduate student at Purdue University Northwest. Eager to find a career that would accentuate my BA in history, I took up an internship inthe university’s archives, processing the papers of award-winning English professor Robert Nichols Jr. Under University Archivist Joe Coates, I learned the basic foundations and principles of archival management and used my newly acquired knowledge throughout the semester to process the collection and create its finding aids. One of the most valuable aspects of my internship was that I was allowed to make mistakes and learn from them. Having some degree of experience in understanding what works and what does not helped propel me into my next archival position and step in my education.
