He also engages with the RAC’s records-creating organizations and with the foundation community more broadly to advocate for information governance, records management, and archival programs that are responsive to the digital environment.
From 2001 to 2015, he held various leadership roles at the Franklin D. Roosevelt Presidential Library & Museum, including as supervisory archivist, deputy director, and acting director. He also is a recovering attorney, having practiced law in New Mexico for seven years before returning to the archival profession in 2001.
Bob is available to help foundations think about their goals and how records and knowledgement management and archives programs can support those goals. He can be reached via email at rclark@rockarch.org.
