Ryan Lieu

Current Role at Stanford

As the operations and technology specialist for Stanford Libraries Conservation Services, I manage collection logistics and lab documentation practices, including conservation database development, metadata creation, and related digital workflows. I work with colleagues throughout the Libraries to track rare materials in transit to and from the Conservation Lab, to plan preservation projects and workflows, and to document the pivotal work of Conservation staff.

Beyond Stanford, I collaborate with conservators and informatics specialists around the world to assess practical concerns regarding technology and publish research aimed at establishing shared methodologies for the creation of conservation data and metadata in libraries and museums.
