reflections on processing the Charles W. Moore archives

reflections on processing the Charles W. Moore archives....

I am a PhD student in the School of Information at the University of Texas at Austin. For the last 8 years of graduate education, I have worked at the Alexander Architectural Archive. Upon my acceptance into the PhD program, I have been tasked with the job of wrangling architect Charles Moore's archives into a cohesive collection.

"listen to what the people say who will inhabit your buildings, 
look at what the world holds already, 
then try to enlist the energies of the people you serve
so that they may better inhabit the places you help them make"
