Inventory, Rehousing, and Relocation of the Sharir and Sharir/Bustamante Dance Collection

The Sharir and Sharir/Bustamante Dance Collection contains a diverse range of materials, including papers, posters, photographs, slides, news articles, and e-textile costumes, all of which pertain to the performances and dance events organized by former UT dance faculty member, Dr. Yacov Sharir. Though the collection was originally accessioned in 2017, processing never met completion. This project entailed three key tasks to ensure its preservation: inventorying the materials, rehousing the collection, and transferring the collection to a secure storage facility. Through my efforts, an accurate finding aid has been created for Texas ScholarWorks, while also being stored in a manner that ensures its preservation at the UT Collections Deposit Library.
