Jade
Hoffman
Medieval History (Ph.D., May 2007)
Jade is a graduate student in medieval history,
which of course makes her a natural candidate for the mark-up
and preservation of UC historical documents. Okay, it doesn't,
but she does know how to spend the entire day in the library
in front of a computer, so it all works out just fine. Years
of trying to find and access historical documents rare or
otherwise have made projects like this incredibly important
to her, so she values the work she does with the UCHDA. Being
able to bounce around to ABBA and obscure Australian music
while she does it makes her work even more enjoyable.
