I became an archives and records management consultant, because I have a fire in my belly to have a positive impact on as many organizations and people as possible.
In an age defined by environmental challenges and a growing commitment to sustainability, archivists play a crucial role in the broader effort to preserve not only the historical record but also the planet itself.
In archival management, the fusion of branding and public relations (PR) strategies has proven formidable.
In archiving, establishing a distinct identity includes both preserving historical records and defining the value archivists bring to their organizations.
Archivists are challenged by misconceptions that may paint them as individuals dwelling in dusty spaces, hidden like forgotten relics. Archivists must embrace branding and public relations strategies to counteract these stereotypes and enhance their professional standing. The transformative power of these strategies can reshape archivists’ identities, amplify their impact, and foster effective communication.
