SI SpotlightEdwin Staples (MSI '99)
Of his role as the IRS's first archivist: "When you come to an organization that really needs you, you get a new level of understanding of the ability that you have after leaving SI. Are you good enough to do this kind of work? Yes, you are."

At SI: Traveled to the University of Fort Hare in South Africa to assist with cataloguing the archival collections of the African National Congress. Interned at the Ann Arbor Water Treatment Plant, designing and documenting a database to ease access to a century's worth of blueprints, deeds, photographs, reports, and more. Spent Alternative Spring Break week working with the Native American Educational Services College in Chicago processing and describing archival collections.
