Arabeth Balasko (she/her)
Anchorage Museum Photograph Archvist
Anchorage, AK
I am an archivist and historian dedicated to public service and proactive stewardship. As a professional archivist, my overarching goals are to curate collections that follow a shared standardization practice, are user-centric, and are searchable and accessible to all via physical and digital platforms.
I believe that an archive should be a welcoming place for all people, and should be an inclusive environment which advocates to collect, preserve, and make accessible the stories and histories of diverse voices. By getting individuals involved in telling THEIR story and making THEIR history part of the ever-growing story of humanity, we all win! Find me on LinkedIn and let's connect!
Factoids about my personal interests: I am a pop culture fanatic, and I love old-school Nickelodeon shows, the history of Showbiz Pizza and the Rock-afire Explosion, and horror books and films!
