Kristen St. John appointed Mary R. and Elizabeth K. Raymond Conservator and Head of Conservation Services at Stanford University Libraries

Kristen St. John was named The Mary R. and Elizabeth K. Raymond
Conservator and Head of Conservation Services in Stanford University
Libraries.  Prior to the appointment, Kristen had been the
Collections Conservator at UCLA for eleven years.  She also worked
at Rutgers University Libraries as a Conservator for Special
Collections and University Archives.  This appointment is not
Kristen's first experience with the Stanford Libraries; she was a
volunteer intern for the Conservation Department early in her career
under the supervision of Walter Henry and Eleanore Stewart.  She
went on to work in a variety of labs including a private
conservation lab, an historical society, and the Library of
Congress.

Kristen holds a MLIS with Advanced Certificate in Conservation from
University of Texas at Austin and a BA in Classics from Trinity
College, University of Dublin.  Her experience includes developing a
prioritization and selection system for the UCLA conservation lab;
training staff within the conservation unit and the library as a
whole in repair, enclosures, selection, and workflow; and leading
environmental monitoring and disaster planning efforts.  Most of
Kristen's work will take place in the recently opened Redwood City
Conservation Lab.
