Collections

The CU Boulder Archives surveyed 1,847 collections in under a year, improving the efficiency with which archivists at CU can make collections visible and accessible to researchers. Behind the work was a simple, disciplined strategy—and the Libraries has four tips for applying the same approach to your own life to conquer your to-do list like an archivist.
