Danielle Robichaud

Danielle is a Digital Archivist in Special Collections & Archives at the University of Waterloo. Passionate about the borderland between archives and digital projects she believes that an understanding of cataloguing is fundamental to good metadata and that the automation revolution will be built on a foundation of thankless manual cleanup. As a white settler archivist she is committed to getting uncomfortable about the colonial legacy of archival collection management and actively working to diversify the narratives surfaced online through outreach and content development. You can find her on Twitter @danielleganza championing the use of Wikipedia, the pragmatic technical management of digital initiatives, and hilariously apt GIFs.
