She will also support the long-term preservation of materials deposited into the Carolina Digital Repository.

Prior to this appointment, Anna worked as metadata librarian for the Swarthmore College Libraries in Swarthmore, Pennsylvania. She holds an M.S.L.S. from the UNC School of Information and Library Science and a B.S. in biology from UNC.

Josephine will serve as project manager and coordinator for a major grant from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation to the Southern Historical Collection (SHC) at the Wilson Special Collections Library. The grant will help the SHC further develop its model of community archiving.

Josephine will also articulate the community-driven philosophy to all project stakeholders.

Before this appointment, Josephine worked as the assistant director and chief of staff at the North Carolina State University Libraries, where she previously was a Libraries Fellow for Collection Management and Research and Information Services. While at Indiana University, she worked as a graduate assistant for Traditional Arts Indiana, the IU Libraries Moving Image Archive, and the Media Preservation and Digitization Initiative.
