Adrienne Cardwell, Archivist, has been working with audiovisual media in archival, post-production, and DIY environments for over twenty years. After independent studies and practice in photography, film, and studio arts, she worked for video and sound production companies in Southern California before relocating to the San Francisco Bay Area in the early 2000s. Her love for preserving family archives and old media, along with her own experiments in music/film/video art, eventually bridged opportunities for learning about and working with culturally historic materials. Since 2006, Adrienne has been leading the preservation and access of the organization’s analog and digital recording collections, and most recently helped develop a new public discovery platform for OM’s archives. Outside of her archivist role, she currently dedicates time to tailoring, writing, and textile art.
