Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolPatrick Wallace is a digital archivist and Head of Digital Strategies with nine years of experience designing low-cost, resilient workflows for born-digital collections, metadata, and preservation infrastructure in academic libraries. He blends hands-on technical skills—automation, legacy computing forensics, and ML/AI integration—with advocacy for democratic, community-centered information systems that resist data colonialism and censorship. At Middlebury College he led cross-institutional archival projects and mentored resource-constrained teams, and he begins leading digital strategy at Hamilton College in 2025. A self-described script kiddie and retro A/V enthusiast, he pairs practical tinkering with scholarly rigor (MLIS, research assistantships including work at Academia Sinica) to produce honest, broadly representative historical records.
