A team of four with mixed expertise ran a rigorous web accessibility audit of 16 Rockefeller Archive Center (RAC) sites while supporting learning about digital accessibility across the organization. In this post, I’ll walk through our process and key takeaways from the project.

In May 2025, Director of Archives Bob Clark, Associate Director Hillel Arnold, and Processing Archivists Darren Young and Katie Martin spent three days in Brussels, Belgium, packing and inventorying the RAC’s first collection from an international organization based outside of the United States: The Union of International Associations (UIA).

Year 2 of the Digital Processing Collaborative (DPC) included demos, discussions, and a fair share of “aha!” (and “huh?”) moments. We focused on clarifying responsibilities around born-digital processing and most importantly identifying what “processing” actually includes. That clarity allowed us to update our Processing Manual which was a big win for the year. But when we asked ourselves how we would actually accomplish those tasks, things began to look a little unclear.

When I first applied to the Rockefeller Archive Center internship, I didn’t know what to expect. All I knew was that a librarian at my school (CCNY) recommended I apply. I have always been a very curious person, so when she told me about how she became an archivist and there was an opportunity of possibly interning at the RAC, I was intrigued. I spoke to my career advisor and learned more about the application process. After hearing about it in more depth I decided to apply. I was super excited to start the internship.

This year’s iPRES was one of firsts.
