Alanna Natanson
Alanna Natanson is a master’s student in public history at North Carolina State University. She is interested in the role that digital archives can play in engaging the public with historical and scientific questions. Working at the Archives of American Gardens (AAG) at the Smithsonian Institution, Natanson plans to add and update online catalog records for Garden Club of America photographs, contribute to cross-organizational collaborations in anticipation of the bicentennial of Frederick Law Olmsted’s birth, promote the AAG online, and survey and rehouse the archive’s Boris Timchenko collection. Boris Timchenko (1898-1975) was a landscape architect noted for designing the grounds of the Watergate complex in Washington, DC.
