"I would say about 10 percent of it was just me being a computer nerd. Beyond that, I worked with a gentleman named Walter Forsberg. Many years ago he came to do a project with me as a conservation student and he blew my mind with the knowledge he dropped on me. His project was to come and do a collection assessment. This was when I was working in my apartment, and it was just a mess. He took a very small sliver of my collection of media and did an assessment, and said “This is what you should do.” It was totally theoretical, but over time, I started to slowly piece together some of the things he had suggested."
