Bios:
Niel White: I am a recent graduate of the University of Denver's Master of Library Science remote program. My undergraduate background in art history led me to a professional interest in archives, and thanks to the Ohio Preservation Council, I was able to attend the recent Society of Ohio Archivists Annual Meeting in May. It is my hope that I can continue to grow professionally though collaboration with archivists in my state.
Melina Edic: My name is Melina Edic (she/her) and I am from Hiram, Ohio. I graduated from the Ohio State University in 2021 with dual degrees in Anthropology and Ancient History & Classics. At OSU, I was introduced to conservation as a Conservation Assistant for the OSU Libraries. I have spent the last few years gaining experience in conservation and collections care at the Smithsonian, Ohio History Connection, and most recently the MFA Boston. This fall, I will be pursuing a career in archaeological conservation at the UCLA/Getty Conservation Program.
