The Communications Committee is pleased to announce that Lindsey Wyckoff has joined the Metropolitan Archivist team as our new Editor-in-Chief! We’ve enjoyed working with Lindsey in her current role as Metropolitan Archivist’s book reviews editor and look forward to continuing the great partnership with her.
Lindsey is currently the Archivist & Special Collections Librarian at Bank Street College of Education. She began working at Bank Street in 2005 shortly after receiving her master’s degree in Librarian and Information Science from Simmons College. As a lone arranger at Bank Street, Lindsey manages the Archival program and special collections and assists with planning and marketing events for the Center for Children's Literature.
A native of New Hampshire, Lindsey enjoys traveling, reading, running, and pilates in her spare time. She also serves on the Board of Directors of the Wyckoff House Museum in Brooklyn, NY.
Please join us in celebrating Lindsey for the hard work she's done for us since 2011 and in welcoming and congratulating her on her new role!
