Alyssa Pacy
Cambridge Public Library Archivist
Cambridge, MA
I am a trained oral historian and have conduct hundreds of interviews throughout my career as an archivist. Currently, I am the Cambridge Public Library's first archivist. Since 2010, I have established the policies for the Library’s new archival research repository, developing standards for appraisal, preservation, access, and reference to serve the needs of the approximately 1,500 patrons who visit the library each day. I also manage digital platforms to make historic material freely available online, reaching a hundred thousand users annually.
