As the Senior Reference Specialist for the Veterans History Project (VHP), I work to make our collections accessible to on-site users as well as those who visit us in the American Folklife Center reading room.
Arlene Balkansky loves working with the full range of people visiting Newspaper and Current Periodical reading room, whether on-site or remotely: the teenager working on a National History Day project, the family interested in comic books, the university student, the teacher participating in the Library’s Summer Teacher Institute, the genealogist, the professor, the filmmaker, the author, and more.
