Elizabeth Rivera
Elizabeth Rivera is the University Archivist at Baylor University in Waco, Texas. A trained public historian, archivist, and librarian, she examines the systems, processes, and people that shape information centers in higher education. Her research explores the individuals and communities behind the collections, especially those who gathered the books, manuscripts, and records that document institutional memory and connect past narratives to contemporary audiences. Rivera also teaches students to situate research questions within their broader historical and organizational contexts, emphasizing these skills as essential and transferable across fields of study and industries. She remains particularly motivated by the work of uncovering and mapping underrepresented stories for future discovery. When not in the archive, Rivera savors time and applies the principles of slow librarianship and slow archives to all aspects of her life, cultivating a thoughtful and sustainable approach to both work and daily living.
