Boone Bowling
Mimi Bowling is a consulting archivist. She began her archival career as an undergraduate at the Western Reserve Historical Society, and was subsequently on the staff of Columbia University’s Rare Book and Manuscript Library. She was Archivist and Supervisory Museum Curator of the Edison National Historic Site (National Park Service, U.S. Department of the Interior) and was, for thirteen years, Curator of Manuscripts at The New York Public Library. Most recently, she was engaged by Random House, Inc., the world’s largest publisher, to launch that company’s archives. She holds a B.A. from Case Western Reserve University and an M.L.S. from Columbia University.
Ms. Bowling has been an active member of the Society of American
Archivists since 1974 and is a frequent speaker and workshop instructor on
various archival topics. Her involvement in the field of archival security
arose out of extensive first-hand experience in the prosecution of the theft
of manuscript and archival materials; in consequence, she and Richard Strassberg
of Cornell University developed the SAA Security Workshop and have presented
it around the United States for over a decade.
