My name is Rowan Coates and I am one of the new Peer Research Specialists in the Archives and Special Collections. I am currently a junior pursuing a double major in History and Environmental Policy and Decision Making.<\/p>\n<p>I originally heard about the Peer Research Specialist position from a friend who had the position previously but was graduating. She thought that I would be interested in the job. I applied as soon as I heard they were looking for people to fill the position for the upcoming semester.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.pugetsound.edu\/collinsunbound\/files\/2019\/09\/archives_catalog1907-8.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-11507 alignright\" src=\"http:\/\/blogs.pugetsound.edu\/collinsunbound\/files\/2019\/09\/archives_catalog1907-8.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"281\" height=\"403\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.pugetsound.edu\/collinsunbound\/files\/2019\/09\/archives_catalog1907-8.png 487w, https:\/\/blogs.pugetsound.edu\/collinsunbound\/files\/2019\/09\/archives_catalog1907-8-209x300.png 209w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 281px) 100vw, 281px\" \/><\/a>Archives and museum work is something that has always interested me and being a history major, it is definitely a career path that I can see myself going down one day. The Archives and Special Collections is a great stepping stone in the right direction for me.<\/p>\n<p>Even though I have only worked at the Archives and Special Collections a short time, I have already seen and read so many interesting things. One of my favorites is looking online at all the <a href=\"https:\/\/soundideas.pugetsound.edu\/bulletins\/\">old Bulletins<\/a> and seeing how the University has evolved and become so much more inclusive in what classes they offer. I think it is so important to catalogue how the university has changed so that we can appreciate how far we\u2019ve come. That is the great thing about history.<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"http:\/\/www.pugetsound.edu\/academics\/academic-resources\/collins-memorial-library\/archives\/\">Archives &amp; Special Collections<\/a> has drop-in hours on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday from 11:00 AM to 4:00 PM or is open by appointment.<\/p>\n<p><em>By Rowan Coates<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hi!
