Dance Heritage Coalition Fellowship

I am currently working with the Dance Heritage Coalition (DHC) as an Archival/Preservation Fellow to create an inventory of archival materials for the Margaret Jenkins Dance Company (MJDC) in San Francisco. This week I am working with audio materials, and over the past few weeks I have inventoried photos and videos.

The Museum of Performance and Design (MPD) generously provides me with a place to work and with access to their Head Librarian. I consult her for advice if I come across preservation issues with which I am unfamiliar, and she graciously provides transportation and manual labor to help me move boxes and materials from the MJDC storage space to MPD.

I will post some images of the materials and my work here over the next few weeks.
