In addition, she was the photo archivist and curator for the Smithsonian's Archives of American Art photographic collection from 1988 to 1994. She has served as a lecturer, moderator and conference panelist both locally and nationally. In 1998, she co-authored an article on "Women in Photography" for The Reader's Companion to U.S. Women's History. In 1993, she curated an exhibition entitled "The Telling Image: Portrait Photographs from the Archives of American Art", shown at the Smithsonian's National Portrait Gallery in Washington, D.C.
