Christa Williford, Bryn Mawr College
I have been the CLIR Postdoctoral Fellow in Scholarly Information and Resources at Bryn Mawr since July, 2004. I am involved with special projects involving digital images and love to help students discover and use primary resources for their academic work. Currently I am preparing a database and collection guide for materials left to the College by Theresa Helburn (BA, 1908), producer of New York's Theatre Guild. This collection includes programs, scene plans, advertisements, playscripts, and over 1000 photographs, and is jointly held by the Special Collections Department and the Art and Archaeology Collection.
Prior to working at Bryn Mawr, I held a fellowship in Theatre History and IT Modelling at Warwick University in Coventry, England. My interests include travel, film, mystery novels, Jane Austen, and architecture, especially the playhouses of 17th-century France and the early theaters of Philadelphia.
