November 9th at 6pm via Zoom
Anne Frantilla and Jeanie Fisher invite you to listen to stories from the Municipal Archives about women whose lives intersected with city government. From advocating for women and children on the streets to finding a way to increase the number of women working for the City in professional positions, women in city government have struggled since the City was founded to create a more hospitable environment for themselves and the women who came after them.
Jeanie Fisher is a Reference Archivist at the Seattle Municipal Archives where she helps city staff and the public locate and access records in the archives. She has a Master of Science in Information from the University of Michigan and is a certified archivist with over 15 years professional experience working in special collections and archives.
Anne Frantilla has been with the Seattle Municipal Archives for over 20 years, first working as reference archivist and becoming City Archivist in 2016. She is passionate about uncovering stories in the archives and making holdings as accessible as possible to as many people as possible. Prior to joining the City of Seattle, she worked at the University of Michigan Bentley Historical Library, Burroughs Corporation, and Washington State Manuscripts and Archives. She is a native of Seattle and a graduate of the University of Washington (BA) and the University of Michigan (MA and MILS).
