Employee Spotlight: Alicia Britton

09/2022
We sat down with Alicia Britton, Document Management Associate, to learn a little more about her in this month’s Employee Spotlight.
Document Management Associate, Alicia Britton

Document Management Associate Alicia Britton is responsible for implementing record management policies and improving record keeping practices. This includes organizing physical records and preparing them for digitization and storage, and helping employees locate the records they need to complete daily work and projects.

What made you decide to pursue a career in your field?

I’ve always been interested in history, and I really enjoy interacting with people and helping them find information, so a job in archives was a natural fit. Working as an archivist allows me to have hands-on interactions with historic materials while also helping to educate the public about archives and how to care for priceless, essential information.

Why do you like working for PWSA?

Working for PWSA has given me the opportunity to expand my skillset in archives and records management. I’ve been able to help develop a records management program and a functioning archive from scratch, I frequently work with historic documents and practice my preservation skills, and I interact with coworkers who need help doing research. It’s exciting that every day I can work on different projects and practice different skills.

What sort of impact do you hope to have at PWSA and in our community?

I hope to be part of a records management program that can make everyday work easier and more efficient for all employees. In turn, a more efficient records management program will also make it easier for PWSA to respond to the needs of the greater Pittsburgh community.

What are your favorite challenges to tackle?

I like challenges that introduce me to new materials or new types of information. I often come across new document types in our record collection and I have to figure out what kind of information they present and who they might be useful to. Challenges like that allow me to learn more about PWSA and the information the organization produces while also teaching me how to recognize various types of information in the future.

What do you enjoy doing outside of work?

I enjoy cooking, reading, crafting, and – using my archival preservation expertise – helping people preserve old books and family mementos.
