Digital Imaging, Preservation, and Curation of Historical Psychiatric Materials, and Beyond

The Oskar Diethelm Library is a collection of rare and non-rare books, archives and manuscripts, A/V materials, serials, objects, and artworks dating from the 1400s to the 21st century and related to psychiatry, hypnosis, witchcraft, the anti-psychiatry movement, and associated topics. I interned under the Diethelm’s sole librarian, Nicole Topich MLIS, assisting with a variety of archival functions, focusing on digital imaging, preservation, and curation.
