Thomas J. Rosko joined the MIT Libraries as Head, Institute Archives on May 1, 2003. Rosko comes to MIT from the University of Kentucky, where he was University Archivist and Director, UK Records Management Program. Prior to that he held archives and records management positions at Princeton University and New York University. Rosko has a BA from Bucknell University and a Master of Library Science degree from Rutgers University, and is active professionally in the Society of American Archivists (SAA) and the Mid-Atlantic Regional Archives Conference (MARAC).

At MIT, Rosko will guide the continuing development of the Institute Archives and Special Collections, http://libraries.mit.edu/archives/index.html, one of the largest university archives and one of the most significant collections related to the history of science and technology in the United States. The collection is comprised of Institute records and faculty papers, rare books, MIT theses and technical reports, and other materials related to MIT and its history. Rosko will be responsible for managing these traditional paper materials while developing strategies for meeting the current challenges posed by electronic records.
