Author Biography:

Daniel J. Linke received bachelor’s and master’s degrees from Case Western Reserve University and worked at three archives before starting at Princeton University Library in 1994 as head of Mudd Library’s technical services. Between 2002 and 2019, he served as the University Archivist and Curator of Public Policy Papers, supervising the acquisition, description, promotion, and access to the University Archives. As the University has reckoned with its past, he coordinated the archival exhibit about Woodrow Wilson’s contested legacy and served on the Princeton and Slavery project. He became the University Archivist and Deputy Head of Special Collections in April 2020. Helene (Heleen) van Rossum is a Dutch-born freelance archivist, historical researcher, and writer who has lived and worked in Princeton most of her life. At Mudd Manuscript Library, which holds the Princeton University Archives, she described collections, curated exhibits, and wrote blog posts, often working closely with Daniel J. Linke. Passionate about finding stories behind archival documents, she creatively engages with history. As a children's book writer, she has written several picture books and is presently focusing on historical fiction. Her website pasttimeshistory.com contains patterns and tutorials about using silhouette or shadow puppets to act out stories from the past.
