Assistant Professor Kimberly Anderson has been named the new Director of the Archival Studies Program. Dr. Anderson received her Ph.D. from the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), where her dissertation examined how university archivists learn to appraise through social interaction. She received her MLIS with a specialization in archives from UCLA in 2007. She received a BA in Humanities with a minor in Anthropology from Northern Arizona University. About her appointment, Professor Anderson says, “I am honored to be selected as Amy Cooper Cary's replacement. Her dedication and attentiveness to archives students and the profession at large has resulted in a robust program of which I am proud to take part. I look forward to the alignment of my research areas (archival appraisal, archival education, and the sociocultural aspects of recordkeeping) with leading the archival studies program and am excited to have greater opportunity for connecting with students, alumni, and the many practitioners and community sites that have supported the development of this program and its students.”
