Is there more to archives than just paper and artifacts? Adria Seccareccia, archivist and liaison librarian at ROAAr, says yes! In this short episode, she talks about the interesting work she does at the library, her experience with summer reading programs as a child, and what drew her to archives. This is the first in a series of short pods where we introduce you to the people of ROAAr; The staff, archivists, librarians and students who sit behind the desk – or, in the case of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020-21, behind the screens.
So let us introduce Adria. Since joining the McGill Library in 2020, Adria has worked on several projects, including a new web archiving project: McGill University Responses to Anti-Black Racism. Read more about it on the blog here.
For our first episode, The Gault Nature Reserve, Adria put together two timelines tracing the history of the Gault Estate as documented in the McGill University Archives. Explore her work here.
