Meet the Staff - NMU Archives

Annika is a project archivist for the 2 year UPLINK (Upper Peninsula Digital Network) grant. The goal of UPLINK is to help heritage organizations around the UP be able to afford to digitize their records and get them online. 

Annika has a B.A. in history and mathematics from NMU and an MLIS from Wayne State University. In her free time, she enjoys reading, watching TV, and hiking.

Samantha is the part-time Collections Management Assistant. She is a graduate of the University of Michigan, where she received her MLIS in Library and Archival Administration. Samantha has worked at several Michigan archives and libraries where she has processed, digitized, and researched local collections.

She most recently volunteered with two Detroit-based museums, where she once got to clean a triceratops’s metatarsal bone (but only one). Samantha is excited to be working with paper and digital materials again in da UP, and hopes to keep the archives cool with her underutilized knowledge of Tolkien and bee behavior.

Abigail is a Junior from the UP double majoring in Anthropology and Secondary Education Social Studies. She enjoys reading, collecting beach glass, and spending time with friends and family.
