Georgia Tech Archives and Special Collections reorganizes

In its continuing effort to better serve Georgia Tech and the campus community, in August the Library’s Archives and Special Collections announced a new leadership team. 

Jody Thompson is now Assistant Dean for Archives, Records Management and Digital Curation, and Alex McGee is Head of Archives and Special Collections. Previously Thompson was Head of Archives and McGee was University Archivist. 

“We’re thrilled to announce this exciting change to campus,” said Library Dean Leslie Sharp. “Jody and Alex bring a wealth of knowledge and experience to our Archives, ensuring we continue to collect and preserve unique historical materials to inspire new creations, advance knowledge, and encourage innovation in service towards the public interest.”

Thomspon has been with Georgia Tech for more than two decades promoting research and instruction through archival collections relating to the academic curriculum. In her new role, she will oversee strategic leadership of and donor relations for the Archives. 

Alex McGee came to Georgia Tech in 2022 from MIT. Previously, she also worked with the Portman Archives, collecting and documenting material to preserve the architectural legacy of John C. Portman Jr., artist, architect, developer, and Georgia Tech alumnus.
