Elizabeth H. Dow discovered during her last class toward a Ph.D. at the University of Pittsburgh's School of Library and Information Science, that she could blend her love of history and love of organizing information by becoming an archivist. Subsequently, she worked as an archivist at the Henry Sheldon Museum in Middlebury, Vt., the Vermont State Archives, and the Special Collections Division of the University of Vermont's Bailey/Howe library. In 2001, she left Vermont to create the archives track in Louisiana State University's School of Library and Information Science. She retired as the J. Franklin Bayhi Professor of Library and Information Science in 2014, and moved back home to Hardwick, Vt. She is the author of Creating EAD-Compatible Finding Guides on Paper (Scarecrow Press, 2005), Electronic Records in the Manuscript Repository (Scarecrow Press, 2009), and Archivists, Collectors, Dealers, and Replevin: Case Studies on Private Ownership of Public Documents (Scarecrow, 2012).
