William R. Cron, Jr. Online Portfolio

Professionally, I consider myself equal parts archivist, historian, and educator. My experience in these fields has prepared me to effectively collect, evaluate, characterize, organize, digitize, preserve, present, question, and interpret information across a variety of contexts. My ideal position would combine traditional archival duties with instructional design, public programming, and implementation of new technologies. I am particularly interested in working with collections documenting United States social and political history.

What I believe about Archives, History, and Education.

Archival materials achieve their greatest value when they are actually USED.
History is IMPORTANT - it helps us make sense of the shared experiences of human beings.
Archivists have an ongoing responsibility to employ technology to improve ACCESS to information.
Every person has the ability to learn, to create, and to impact our world in a positive way.
