Hello AoIR! I'm Emily, an Asst Prof @ University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign's School of Information Sciences. I study how libraries and archives are capturing and preserving collections of websites and how they support researchers studying the web's history. I also look at related topics like dataset documentation, archival theory + digital research methods.

I'm relatively new to the Midwest originally from Toronto

Looking forward to seeing everyone in Philly!

New article out in Archival Science!

"Conceptualizing aggregate-level description in web archives" looks at the multiple systems (from database entities to domain names) that categorize and structure born-networked records, and how archival theory can/should consider these as representational architectures that warrant their own kinds of description.
