My real name is Erin Blake, and I'm Curator of Art & Special Collections at the Folger, which means I'm responsible for the care and development of non-book and non-manuscript collections. This includes things like prints, drawings, paintings, photographs, sculpture, ephemera (e.g., playbills, programs, theater tickets), and collectibles (from 18th-century porcelain figurines of actors and actresses to 21st-century plastic action figures and Lego mini-figs of Shakespeare). I hold a Ph.D. in Art History from Stanford University, and have been at the Folger since 2000. I'm also currently the Interim Head of Collection Information Services and Cataloging, but that's even harder to explain.
