.....additional weeks at MCLM as the Director of Research & Collections! The executive director just handed me the job description for the new position that was created at MCLM to keep me on board. After the contract is signed, this will be a 2 month position, with my official title being the Director of Research & Collections.
I am so grateful for this opportunity and look forward to the upcoming months. I will do everything I can to move MCLM's collection forward and maintain and build our our institutions mission:
"to collect, preserve; exhibit and celebrate the unique history and cultural heritage of Americans of African descent and thereby help to provide a more complete view of American history."
It looks like it's time for Archivist Alyss 3.0!

Week 20 at MCLM
I have not updated recently because I was out of the office, in Vegas! Anyway...
All of the cataloging goals that were set have been met or exceeded. All the inventories are complete and I have volunteers working on the inventorying of ethnic ads and other recent accessions. The ethnic ads we have are interesting, ranging from can labels to post cards. Most of the ads date from the early 1900’s to the 1940’s. The inventorying process is necessary so all the materials within our collection are accessible.
The access to MCLM's collection will be improving with the launch of our new database. I have become the acting database manager and I'm very excited to see the new database launch successfully. I believe that this online, searchable database will greatly increase MCLM's presence as an African American library and museum.
