| Past
experience: Research Director and archivist for Heritage Battle
Creek. In this capacity I coordinate all historical research to support
the programs of the organization, as well as facilitate access to
archival sources for the community and for students and scholars nationwide.
I am responsible for conducting and/or supervising all research in
preparation of the wide range of published and educational materials
created by Heritage Battle Creek, for students as well as for the
general public. I also teach a course in historical research methods
and local history techniques at Kellogg Community College and Spring
Arbor College. I am the founder and editor, as well as a contributing
writer, for Heritage Battle Creek, national award-winning journal
of local history. The journal publishes articles on the history and
heritage of the Battle Creek and Calhoun County area, based on original
research, written in a style which is accessible to the general reader.
The winter 1999 volume of the Heritage Battle Creek was devoted
to the Underground Railroad story in Calhoun County. I also supervised
the design of a set of curriculum materials on the Underground Railroad
used in the elementary and middle schools in Battle Creek, as well
as in a week-long summer camp which taught the area Freedom Saga story. |
