About Me

I am an archivist, librarian, and lifelong student interested in how libraries and archives can make the Web a better place.

Conflict of Interest Statement

Current Statement

I (Retrent) am an employee of the George Washington University Libraries, a non-profit cultural institution per GLAMWiki, which collects, preserves, and provides long-term public access to primary resources and rare or unique materials to all researchers regardless of institutional affiliation. I will only make edits that are beneficial to the goals of Wikipedia.

When editing articles, I also try to improve access to related primary sources in libraries and archives. I may insert links to resources held by the George Washington University, my employer, when they are relevant to a topic.

I will modify my editing behavior in response to problems cited by other editors or if my editing conflicts with Wikipedia guidelines. I welcome other editors to contact me via my user talk page if I appear to do anything contrary to Wikipedia etiquette or editorial guidelines. --Retrent (talk)
