An Archivist's Tale

Cheryl Stadel-Bevans, a Records Management Specialist for the U.S. federal government, explains how someone with a bachelor's and master's in mathematics becomes an archivist and records management and loves the work. She also recounts her experiences as a furloughed worker in the record-breaking longest federal shutdown of all times on the day (unknown to her at the time) of the last work day of the furlough.
