Shaun Trujillo

Shaun (he/him) leads a new program tasked with linking and preserving the College's digital holdings and output, supporting their longstanding value through meaningful management and upkeep over time. He will implement an enterprise level preservation platform to tailor asset management workflows and provide administration for these unique digital assets. His work builds off of the insights gained from previous initiatives at Smith, namely the Stronger Together planning and governance grant and the Access to Collections (A2C) Project, and relies on strategizing and consulting with departments across the Libraries and College to develop a shared infrastructure for maintaining, discovering, and accessing the digital heritage of Smith campus collections.

Shaun's multitude of hobbies are in a constant competition for time and attention, though he inevitably returns to drawing and writing poetry/fiction. He loves indie comics, zines, and games. Shaun's favorite place to be is out walking in the woods or reading in a cozy corner somewhere.
