Growing up in Alberta, I finished my B.A. in History at the UofA in 2007. I decided to take a few months off after my B.A., which somehow turned into a two-year bartending stint. Thankfully, I have returned to school and am currently completing my M.A. at Western.

Public History M.A. graduate interested in history, archives, communication, technology, photography, and design. Currently employed as a temporary outreach archivist. Was once-upon-a-time dubious of ever finding a position that would allow her to combine all her varied interests into one blissfully fascinating position. Is no longer dubious.

Shelagh Staunton has a B.A. in History from Queen's University, and is a Master's student in Public History at the University of Western Ontario. This year she has been fortunate enough to publish a collection of family letters from the First World War. The book is entitled Now Far From Home, and is set to be printed this summer.

Shelagh is also in the midst of an internship with the Promised Land Project, a joint project between a number of universities and community partners in Canada that aims to create a database of primary sources regarding the experience of the black community in the Chatham-Kent area of Ontario.
