As the Public Relations trainee up here on the quiet fourth floor of the library, I get to manage an aspect of the archives that many don't think about -- social media. Early in my freshman year (this past year), I "liked" the Concordia Archives Facebook page and really enjoyed the posts of pictures from Concordia's past. I even participated in the Photo Recreation Contest with a friend and we won! I "liked" the Archives' Facebook posts consistently and the former Public Relations Intern, Luke Fitterer, noticed and offered me his position before he graduated. As someone majoring in Heritage & Museum Studies and Communication, I could not have been more thrilled. This job is a bit of a foretaste of what I'd like to do for a living in the future. History has always fascinated me and I love that I am receiving such a tangible experience working with a history so close to home -- Concordia's. It has been loads of fun perusing the vertical photograph files searching for a picture to post both on Facebook and Twitter. The photos we have here are terrific -- whether it be a century old class photo, or a candid shot of some hippie Cobbers from the '70s -- I love looking at all of them. Visit the archives and check them out sometime, my words can't do them justice. After all, a picture is indeed worth a thousand words! -Corinne Burrell Comments are closed.
