My name is Anna Halgash, and I am a public historian based in Boston, Massachusetts, 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 recent work has been 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. My dream is to conduct historical research and curate or maintain collections at a history or cultural institution.
