Edward Galloway
Our featured speaker at the Spring meeting is Edward Galloway. He is the Heinz Archivist at Carnegie Mellon University Libraries in Pittsburgh. Prior to joining the University Libraries in 1993, he worked at the Senator John G. Tower Library and Archives at Southwestern University in Georgetown, Texas, while completing his M.L.I.S. degree from the University of Texas at Austin. He worked as a research assistant for a historic preservation consulting firm in Austin after receiving his B.A. degree in history from Southwestern University in 1989.
In his present position, Galloway has focused his energies on managing the H. John Heinz III Archives, the repository for the congressional papers of the late Senator Heinz. In addition to creating a traditional archive for the preservation of the papers, he is one of the principal participants in the design, development and implementation of the Heinz Electronic Library Interactive Online System (HELIOS). He coordinates the physical processing of the Heinz papers, organizes the scanning and verification tasks, routinely conducts interface design and functionality testing, performs reference duties, and pursues collection development activities.
Galloway has presented papers and demonstrations of HELIOS at the national, regional and local level, including presentations at meetings of the Society of American Archivists and Society of Southwest Archivists. He has participated on several panel discussions, including the Congress-ional Papers Conference on The Future of Congressional Collections in Portland, Maine, in 1994, and the Oakland Library Consortium on Digitization for Preservation and Access in Pittsburgh in 1997. He has contributed several articles on the HELIOS project to The Public-Access Computer System Review and Library Administration & Management. He is a member of the Society of American Archivists, the Society of Southwest Archivists and the Mid-Atlantic Regional Archives Conference. With the Society of American Archivists annual meeting scheduled for Pittsburgh this summer, Galloway currently serves as co-chair of the 1999 Host Committee.
