What do you do?
I am a Digital Imaging Technician working in the Field Book team. We’re digitizing and distributing content for natural sciences, including geology.
What is the strangest/most interesting thing you have discovered at the Archives so far?
My coworker showed me a Field Book by Paul Bartsch on nudibranchs, complete with detailed paintings of specific species. Didn’t know what a ‘nudibranch’ was before that day. Turns out they’re amazing. Who knew?
Favorite spot in DC to recommend to visitors?
The courtyard of the National Portrait Gallery and Smithsonian American Art Museum, hands down. That has to be my favorite spot downtown.
