Additionally, while earning his Masters of Art in French Language and Literature at the University of Virginia, Alex served as a graduate teaching assistant and worked in the Special Collections library on a number of grant funded digitization projects. The subjects of this ground-breaking work ranged from 16th century French books to the personal correspondence of Thomas Jefferson, and James and Dolley Madison.
