My name is Anna Halgash, and I am a public historian based in Yakima, Washington, USA. I have a Public History M.A. degree and Digital Humanities Certificate from Northeastern University and a B.A. degree (magna cum laude, with honors in English) in both History and English from The College of Wooster.

I specialize in historical research and museum collections management and maintenance. My past work includes contributing to the National Park Service History Collection as an NPS History Collection Museum Intern. I have also applied my skills and knowledge to various projects and collaborations, such as researching the motivations and characteristics of former U.S. President Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s presidential retreat, Shangri-La, for Shenandoah National Park’s archives and co-conducting oral history interviews with Boston jazz trumpeter and Berklee professor Jason Palmer for the Black Artists of Boston Project.
