My name is Erin Blake, and I live in Washington, DC (hence the username). My areas of expertise include librarianship, library technology, book history, art history, and dressmaking. Most of my Wikipedia editing involves adding images, links, and citations.
I'm a cataloger at the Folger Shakespeare Library, an independent research library for the study of early modern Europe (circa 1500 to 1700) and Shakespeare. From 2000 through 2014, I was the Folger's Curator of Art & Special Collections, and from 2014 to 2018 I was Head of Collection Information Services. I'm also a faculty member at Rare Book School.
