About Katheryn

I am an avid learner, recent PhD, and a full-time Archivist at a historic site. As a holder of degrees in English, music, history, and library science, I bring a variety of skills, experiences, and critical questions to the projects—both individual and collaborative—that I undertake. Whether I'm conducting research about the relationships between race and pet keeping in America, processing archival collections, and collaborating with museum professionals, I approach each task as an opportunity to draw on past knowledge and develop new skills.

About the Photo

 In Summer 2018, I created a music and movement program for preschoolers at the Delaware Historical Society. In this photo, taken by Megan Hutchins, I am showing the preschoolers a puzzle (the image a postcard in their collections) that they will put together thanks to their hard work in a musical-historical treasure hunt.
