About Danielle Emerling Consulting LLC I have a decade of experience working with congressional archives, and I use that to advise institutions on acquiring modern political collections, processing multiple formats, and building donor relationships. My expertise in applying project management and minimal processing techniques ensures work is accomplished strategically and efficiently, saving time and resources. For congressional offices, I offer a knowledgeable perspective for evaluating your options. |
