About the Author
Daniel J. Linke received bachelor’s and master’s degrees from Case Western Reserve University and worked at three archives before starting at Princeton University Library in 1994 as head of Mudd Library’s technical services. Between 2002 and 2019, he served as the University Archivist and Curator of Public Policy Papers, supervising the acquisition, description, promotion, and access to the University Archives.

He became the University Archivist and Deputy Head of Special Collections in April 2020.
