Jessica Grimmer, Ph.D., MLIS

Hi, I'm Jess! I'm a cultural archivist and historian.

Connecting people with resources that engage them with history and culture has been at the heart of my work as a music historian for over a decade. I became committed to increasing access to primary source materials after completing extensive archival research across France and the United States, and subsequently completed an MLIS at the University of Maryland.

​

My research focuses on the nexus of music, institutions, and political discourse, and the sustainability of digital collections,

with a special interest in encoded music.

​

I currently serve as a Performing Arts Specialist at the US Copyright Office and Project Archivist at Special Collections in Performing Arts at the University of Maryland.
