Graduate student Abbey Buckham is aspiring to preserve history, one photograph at a time.
It all started with a cardboard box and an email. The email was from Björn Krondorfer, director of the Martin-Springer Institute, which is focused on using the lessons of the Holocaust to help promote peace and tolerance. Krondorfer was looking for a graduate student to take on a project archiving an old box full of World War II photos. Abbey Buckham, who is working on a master’s in history, was intrigued.
She took on the project that evolved to include the application of investigative skills and a trip to Washington, DC. Learn more about Abbey’s journey into the past.
