AUTHOR BIOGRAPHY
Daniel J. Linke has worked in Special Collections at the Princeton University Library for over 25 years, first serving as the Seeley G. Mudd Manuscript Library's assistant archivist for technical services. In 2002 he became the University Archivist and Curator of Public Policy Papers, overseeing overall operations of the Mudd Library, including acquisitions, donor relations, public services, technical services, records management, fundraising, outreach, building operations, and staff supervision. From April 2019-March 2020, he served as the Interim Associate University Librarian for Special Collections. He has appeared in two university-produced videos, assisted several documentary filmmakers, and spoken with dozens of journalists. In addition, he has written press releases for new acquisitions, exhibitions, and digital initiatives, and collaborated with both the Library and the University Communications offices on a wide variety of media challenges.
Travis H. Williams has worked professionally in theatre, film, and television for over 25 years, picking up various awards for acting and directing along the way. Some may remember him for his appearances at the Society of American Archivists Conference as a featured presenter during the Finding Aid To My Soul storytelling event (2019) and as one of the improv performers in Raiders of the Lost Archive (2014). Others may have forgotten that his photography has graced the cover of Spectrum, the official magazine of the American Association of Law Libraries, and that he was awarded for being a “Social Media Guru” by LOUIS, the Louisiana Library Consortium. His film work is available to view at www.hedgespictures.com. Currently, he serves as the Archivist and Special Collections Librarian at St. Edward’s University in Austin, Texas.
