She is experienced in cultural collections disaster response and is enthusiastic about preservation outreach.- In July 2015, Justin Baumgartner, Keith/Albee Digital Project Librarian, visited the Annual Conference of the Alliance of Digital Humanities Organizations in Sydney, Australia. He presented an original poster, “In the Spotlight: Digitization and the Keith/Albee Vaudeville Collection”.
