Hello, My name is Sylvia. I am a graduate student, currently getting MLIS. I am an archivist and historian of New World Slavery, with a specialization on the lives of the enslaved in the South. I'm currently working on a project looking into fugitive “slaves.” In the Archival Sciences, I have worked on how users access information, namely as Linked Open Data. If you want to find me, you will likely find me frantically trying to improve authority control both here and on wikidata, and editing stub history articles. In general, my modus operandi is to edit history articles, while using my knowledge of information science principles to ensure that data is interoperable, and all materials are optimally searchable; this includes ensuring quality citations, expanding and improving authority files (both here and on Wikidata), and ensuring that texts are well proofread. I also love adding content, but I am usually too busy to fully put by weight behind editing articles :) I'm also a strong proponent of metrication, and try to ensure that the metric system is at least utilized in addition to US Customary Units, etc. The articles that I'm most proud of right now are as follows: A. S. Embree Myron H. Tilden
