My wonderful processing student Hunger Loubert

Here is a blog by Hunter who volunteered and interned with me this academic year. He did a very good job and is graduating May 9. I wish him well!

Hello, my name is Hunter Loubert! I am a senior at Central Michigan University, close to graduating as an undergrad with a major in History with minors in Anthropology and Museum Studies. During the 2025 Fall Semester, I volunteered and was involved with working on the CMU Athletics collection. I archivally processed the archival material and wrote the box and list for the Athletics collection. The processing of the collection allowed me to gain experience on whether I was interested in the archival and collection process. 

During spring term 2026, I worked with Marian in the Clarke Historical Library as an intern. I was involved in inventorying, keeping the inventory updated, processing, archiving, and withdrawing parts of the Barbara Madison genealogical collection as well as learning about the processing issues of the digital part of the Madison collection from Noelle Charbonneau. I also had the opportunity this semester to encode the Edward Lorenz Pine River Superfund Citizen Task Force Collection.  Throughout the semester, I learned a lot of skills within the archival process and when I graduate, I hope to apply the skills that I learned in my future career. 

Hunter's family visited the archives to see all the Madison we had withdrawn to date during processing.
