As the Archivist and Collections Manager for IGWS, Jennifer Lanman is a professional worrier. She is most often found sorting through and organizing documents and objects in remote corners of storage spaces or staring at databases on her computer screen. Her background in anthropology and museum studies, gained from Indiana University—Purdue University Indianapolis, has given her solid footing for her more than ten-year career encompassing museum exhibition development, registration and collection management, and archival collection development.
