—Vanessa Hardy, Conservation Technician, San Francisco Public Library

"Gave me skills and knowledge that I was able to apply directly back to my archival work. The online format allowed me to balance my day-to-day work and not have to travel cross-country. . . . Having the chance to learn from Gawain and interact with other colleagues in the course was incredibly beneficial."
