We are happy to welcome Sade Trice to the Presbyterian Historical Society as our new BKBB Archives Intern.

Sade (Shar) recently graduated from the Community College of Philadelphia with an associate degree in English and an academic certificate in Creative Writing. In the fall, she will be attending Rutgers University in Camden. Previously, Shar held a work-study position in the archives at Holy Family University where she worked on digitization projects.

Outside of her internship at PHS, Shar works as a part-time assistant teacher at a childcare center and enjoys reading books...

What is your role at PHS? What do you do from day-to-day?

I work as a processing archivist. Day-to-day, I prepare and process collections of records and papers for research use. This includes physically rehousing collections in archival folders and containers (this helps to preserve collections) and creating catalog records and collection guides (this increases the discoverability and usability of collections). Processing work also helps establish a framework for digitization of collection materials. 

How does your work support the mission of PHS...
