2015 Louisa Bowen Memorial Scholarship Winner Shares Her Thoughts
- Samantha Smith
Abstract
As I write this essay for the MAC newsletter, I am preparing for my final year as a graduate studentin the dual public history MA/MLIS program through Loyola University Chicago and Dominican University. It feels surreal to be where I am, a space I refer to as the future now. During my first archival internship at Gettysburg National Military Park, I came across a photograph of summer interns from the 1960s. The photograph impacted me, because in it were people like me, people who preserved and interpreted history by, for, and with the public. Or put another way, people who loved stories and storytelling. For me it is all about stories, and I get to experience them in so many different ways as an archival professional, public historian, and historian.
