Preservation Services at Dartmouth College: January 2011

Monday, January 31, 2011

Welcome!

I am pleased to announce that on Monday, January 24, Elizabeth Rideout began work in Preservation Services as a Project Specialist for the U.S. Congressional Serial Set/Readex Project. Elizabeth has a diploma in Bookbinding from the North Bennet Street School and a Bachelor's degree in Art from Washington College. She is also the Chair of the Book Arts Guild of Vermont and comes to us with over four years of experience in hand bookbinding. Her experience as a book binder will be put to good use as we enter the final year of the project. In addition to her work on the Serial Set project, Elizabeth will also be helping with digital production and preservation assessment projects.

Please join me in welcoming Elizabeth.
