Dan Farrell

Dan Farrell serves as an Adjunct Professor in the School of Information under the Faculty of Arts at the University of British Columbia. He holds a Master of Archival Studies (MAS) from the UBC iSchool (2007) and brings professional experience from archives and records management sectors, most recently as Records Analyst for the City of Richmond. His academic role includes teaching History of Record Keeping (ARST 517).

Farrell's research centers on the historical, political, and social dimensions of records and archives, examining how power structures shape documentation practices. His interdisciplinary approach uniquely intersects with creative writing, as evidenced by his poetry collections like The Inkblot Record which metaphorically explores archival concepts through literary expression. This fusion of archival science and humanities informs his pedagogical perspective on record-keeping evolution.

No scientific awards, student supervision details, or research grants were documented in the available materials. His professional activities remain focused on teaching and bridging archival theory with creative literary practice without indication of laboratory affiliations or collaborative research teams.
