Former Recollection Wisconsin Program Manager Emily Pfotenhauer has been selected to receive the 2023 Society of American Archivists Spotlight Award. This award, given only once a year, recognizes the contributions of individuals who work for the good of the archives profession and of archival collections, and whose work would not typically receive public recognition. Emily’s qualifications are significant and you can read the full nomination letter to learn about the contributions she made in her 14-year tenure with WiLS, Wisconsin Heritage Online, and Recollection Wisconsin. We are forever grateful for her work, including years of advocating for sustainable funding for Recollection Wisconsin. Her efforts were successful; the most recent Wisconsin biennial budget includes a dedicated funding line for Recollection Wisconsin.
