I am excited to announce that Haley Lykins has accepted an offer to become the permanent Reference/Public Services Archivist for University Archives, effective 1 January 2025. Haley has been in the position on a temporary contract since June of 2024. Before that, Haley served as the Husni Processing Coordinator for Special Collections from 2023-2024 and as a student assistant in Special Collections and Physical Processing from 2019-2023. Haley has a Master of Library and Information Science from the University of Missouri’s School of Information Science and Learning Technologies with an emphasis in Archival Studies and a Bachelor of Art degree from MU’s School of Visual Studies.
Haley has quickly proven herself to be a vital member of our small team, and we look forward to seeing her continue to develop her skills, interests, and expertise in the years ahead.
