Our Nation of Others – Omeka Project
In Spring 2013, I documented, scanned and digitized exhibition submissions from UW-Madison’s “Our Nation of Others” exhibit organized by Ibero-American Collections Librarian, Paloma Celis-Carbajal. Using Omeka, I cataloged these items using DublinCore.

From 2011-2012, I helped create finding aids and digitize photographs for two major online gallery collections as a digital lab assistant: “People of the Big Voice” and “David Giffey: Struggle for Farmworker Justice.” The latter online exhibit is the Society’s first bilingual online image gallery with information presented both in English and in Spanish. I wrote the gallery introduction and consulted with Mr. Giffey to confirm factual information of finding aids to his photographs.
