I enjoy working with collectors to help realize their vision. I believe the highest and best use of a private collection is to share it, and I find it rewarding to facilitate exhibition loans, scholarly use, and website and social media interactions. With broad experience in 20th- and 21st-century US and UK literature, some of my passions are Woolf and her circle; Joyce, Pound, and their Modernist friends; Irish literature; Nabokov, Faulkner, Pynchon; and feminism, about which I’ve written thousands of pages.

Examples of my collection management work include the Dobkin Family Collection of Feminism and Two American Poets: Wallace Stevens & William Carlos Williams from the Collection of Alan M. Klein (both linked below). I entered the Dobkin Family Collection in 1996 as a cataloguer and over time became increasingly responsible for curation and management (acquisitions, inventory database, website, storage, photography, insurance, scholar access, exhibition loans). My work with Two American Poets includes exhibition, catalogue, and website support.
