Jacob Nadal has been the Director for Preservation for the last seven years. As his time at the Library comes to a close, he sets down his thoughts about preservation and leadership and says a warm farewell.
By teaching Joe, my cat, about archives and preservation, I teach myself the best ways to communicate for each project or outreach event I participate in. Joe serves as my test audience, and while he might not directly tell me if I need to expand upon or parse out a section, presenting to him helps me analyze it for myself.
