Elizabeth Butler
@elizabethbutler
I preserve historical records through practical digital archiving, legacy-media recovery, and accountable access workflows.
United StatesWhat I'm looking for
I'm currently recovering, preserving, and documenting historical court media for the U.S. District Court, Eastern District of Louisiana. My work spans flash drives, CDs/DVDs, VHS, hard drives, floppy disks, oversized files, and manual attachments.
I developed an offline-first intake workflow for controlled intake, scanning, viability and corruption checks, transfer, indexing, and repository planning before network access. I create indexes that track asset locations, custodianship, recoverability, and access considerations while coordinating archive work connected with NARA resources in Fort Worth.
Through Butler Conservation, LLC, I preserve and restore historic paper documents and artwork while producing organized digital records and access-ready reproductions. I manage projects from assessment and intake through imaging, digital restoration, delivery, and client communication.
Across conservation, court archives, and media production, I've built careful workflows for documentation, quality control, cataloging, digitization, and long-term retention. I've also digitized thousands of historical images and organized large collections of animation cels and production media.
