Jessica Chapel

I’m a librarian/archivist working on digital infrastructure, AI governance, and the public’s stake in how knowledge systems get built. I think a lot about what technology means for how we know things.

I came to this work by way of journalism, web development, and Thoroughbred horse racing (really).

Railbird, the racing blog I published from 2004 to 2019, lives here as an archive. My Ticknor Prize-winning collection of racing books and ephemera is (partly) cataloged on LibraryThing.
