Marie: I began what was then called the Audio Center at Bowling Green State University in 1967, and then began the Popular Culture Library a little over a year later. My title is now Sound Recordings Archivist in what is NOW called the Music Library and Sound Recordings Archives. I joined the University as a faculty member and have been a full professor since 1992. Check out both special collections' websites at the University's general site: http://www.bgsu.edu There is also an excellent (if I do say so myself) article about our collections in in the June 1998 issue of NOTES which I co-wrote with my colleague, Bonna Boettcher.

For example, I managed the Richard F. Wright Jazz Archive at the Unievrsity of Kansas for two years but am now finishing up a Preservation Admnistration degree at UT-Austin.
