Research Interests: Archives focusing in particular on recordkeeping behavior and the effect of recordkeeping processes, rules, and expectations on an organization

Eliot Wilczek is the University Records Manager in the Digital Collections and Archives at Tufts University. I am presently serving as the project director of a NHPRC electronic records program expansion grant and was a co-principal investigator on a NHPRC electronic records research project that Tufts completed with Yale University in 2006. See http://dca.tufts.edu/?pid=92 for more details.

I have taught archives and records management courses as an adjunct instructor at the Graduate School of Library and Information Science at Simmons College. I have a MS in Library and Information Science and a MA in History from Simmons College. See http://web.simmons.edu/~wilczek/ for more details.

My area of study is in archives, focusing in particular on recordkeeping behavior. I am interested in how an organization's recordkeeping processes, rules, and expectations shape the documentation of its activities and how that documentation shapes the organization's understanding of its actions. A possible subject for this research question may be the U.S. military's process for documenting and reporting its operations during the Vietnam War and how the military's reporting influenced its understanding of the war.
