Welcome to my web portfolio! 

My name is Emma Metcalfe Hurst and I am a graduate of the dual degree MASLIS program at the UBC iSchool program, with a First Nations Concentration Curriculum (FNCC) specialization. I also hold a BFA (2016) from Emily Carr University of Art & Design in Critical and Cultural Studies (major) and Curatorial Practice (minor). My work as an archivist and librarian is informed by my interdisciplinary work as an artist, curator, writer, designer, and recorder. I am interested in the intersections of art production and information studies, community-based archives, intellectual property rights, archival outreach, public programming and primary source instruction. I specialize in arts librarianship, artists’ archives, and special collections. 

I currently work as an Archivist / Special Collections Librarian (term) at the Rhode Island School of Art & Design (RISD). 

This web portfolio shares my relevant work experience and education to date, and offers a sampling of recent archival and library projects and writing that I have produced.
