Getting It off the Ground and Finding a Place to Put It
Presentation for the North Carolina Community College Archives Association's 4th Annual Conference, held August 1, 2025, at Blue Ridge Community College.
Peggy Higgins retired as Locke Library's Systems/Access Services Librarian in 2024. During her career there, she wanted to do more work with the library archives, but just did not have time to do it justice. Before she left, she promised to return later as a volunteer to work on getting those materials in a usable order. In March 2025, she began the task, along with help and advice from Susan Toole, Locke Library's Director. They are both excited about the process as they progress from random boxes and plastic tubs of materials to a usable archives collection.
