Hi! My name is Alex, and I am a Research Services archives assistant in the Special Collections Library at Penn State University. My reason for joining is to create greater visibility of our collections and to provide researchers with remote access to materials that we have in our collections. I will be working on linking to our finding aids, cleaning up or adding information to articles (such as when I see a big error in dates, names, etc. that I have proof for in the SCL collection), and occasionally creating pages when necessary. I'm looking forward to becoming a part of the Wikipedia editing community!

Please, if I happen to make a mistake, let me know about it! I want to be a productive part of this community and I would never intentionally break a rule. There is valuable information in our archives and the more we can make it accessible to researchers on campus and around the world, the better!

Below are my projects. I'm very excited to start the next one as this will be in coordination with our Flickr albums, so people will be able to browse photos of the presidents, events at PSU during that president's term, family pictures, manuscripts, and other documents.

Overall goals:

 * Provide links to the individual presidents' finding aids, when available, or the "President's Papers Collection" finding aid
 * Fix mistakes within the articles
 * Add basic information when missing
 * Create pages for presidents that currently have no page
