About me:

Hello, I’m Beatrice, a.k.a. Dust Bunny. I’ve been working in art and design university libraries and archives since 2018. I’m trained in collections management, including the practical care, organisation, cataloguing and preservation of physical and digital material, and I’ve been collecting old media formats for years.

Approach:

I treat every collection on its own terms. Some projects are about preservation - getting fragile or obsolete material into a stable, accessible format before it's lost. Others are about making an existing archive usable - building a system an individual, studio, or organisation can actually keep up with, long after the initial project ends. Often it's both.

Every project starts with the material itself: what it is, what condition it's in, how it's used now, and how it needs to be found and used in future. From there I put together a system - physical, digital, or both - that holds up over time and doesn't depend on any one piece of software or on me.

Your originals are handled using appropriate archival handling and storage practices.
