Introducing the History Department Librarian!


Hello, my name is Erin Passehl, and I am a Librarian/Archivist in Special Collections, located on the 2nd floor of Albertsons Library. I am also the liaison to the history department. A Midwest native, I graduated from the University of Wisconsin-Madison with a bachelor degree in history and political science. I also have a Master of Science in Information (MSI) from the University of Michigan where I specialized in archives. I am excited to work closely with students, faculty, and staff in the history department.

I encourage everyone to check out the History Subject Guide that serves as a starting point for library research using books, journals, and databases, as well as links to other useful information such as websites and digital collections that may relate to your studies or research. Albertsons Library also has a blog that provides information on news and resources from the library, and a Twitter feed that showcases new resources both on and off-campus.

I am here to help faculty, staff and students with any questions related to historical research using the library or special collections. Please contact me anytime to schedule an appointment, request/suggest a purchase of materials for the library, or for help in general. You can find my contact information on my profile page.

Have a great semester!
Erin Passehl
