AboutLori Eaton
Lead archivist and writer
I specialize in helping clients capture their story by identifying, collecting, and preserving relevant records and assets. I approach every collection—be it a writer’s files or an institution's records room—with the same rigorous standards of provenance and care.
Before branching out on my own as an archive and records management consultant to nationally recognized foundations, I was the project archivist at the Dorothy A. Johnson Center for Philanthropy at Grand Valley State University. In addition to working with philanthropic records, I have had the good fortune to process archival collections at a variety of academic and cultural heritage institutions.
I am a member of the Academy of Certified Archivists and the Society of American Archivists. I earned my master’s in library and information science and graduate certificate in archival administration from Wayne State University, and I have a Bachelor of Business Administration from the College of William and Mary. Writing has been a cornerstone of my professional and creative life. I have worked as a copywriter, freelance features writer, communications specialist, and grant writer.
