I am a PhD student and processing archivist doing PhD research on Western New York artistic institutions and artists from the Progressive Era to the late twentieth century. I research archival information and conduct repeat oral history relationships with artists or their families and use Wikipedia to highlighting the histories of these significant institutions and recover their influential and forgotten regional resident artists and instructors. I edit my submissions to be scholarly and concern research that does not make it into my own publications (which are never cited). My sources are authored by scholarly organizations, archivists, librarians, etc. and my purposes are informational.
