Former Tufts Staff

Sara Bryant, Research Coordinator.
Sara worked on collecting mass quantities of raw data: she scanned it, cataloged it, printed it, spec'd it, etc. If we wanted something to go into our library, we worked with Sara to get it done. It also helped that she's both extremely patient and well-organized. When we were starting a project, Sara was the go-to person.

Maria Daniels, Visual Collections Curator.
Photographer, image manager, organizer of permissions for images. Maria filled many roles during her years with Perseus and saw the project through thick and thin! She did whatever needed to be done and gave the proverbial 110%. Maria's consummate professionalism and creative vision now reside at WGBH in Boston, where she is the Director of New Media for the American Experience. (We miss her! But once a Perseid....)
