Welcome to Brianna

We have another talented new SLIS Blogger! Hello to Brianna!

Brianna Woodard is a master’s student in the Archives concentration at Simmons University’s School of Library and Information Science. With a background in marketing, human resources, and records management, Brianna is interested in the ways archives, technology, and storytelling intersect. Her interest in archives is also personal: she became fascinated with family history and preservation through her grandmother’s photographs, albums, newspaper clippings, and other family materials. At Simmons, she is exploring how archives can help preserve Black history, culture, and everyday stories while making those collections more accessible to the communities they represent. Outside of SLIS, Brianna is an artist, writer, and film enthusiast who enjoys finding connections between visual storytelling and archival practice.
