(KNZA)--The Brown County Historical Society has hired a new curator for their museums.
The Historical Society has announced the hiring of Elizabeth Lane, of Atchison, for the position.
Lane, who grew up in Brown County, is to begin work full-time on May 22nd.
She will replace Eric Thompson who is leaving at the end of the month to pursue finishing his bachelors degree.
According to a news release from the organization, Lane is a professional historian and researcher with an impressive list of experience in the areas of history and genealogy.
Along with a Bachelors and Master’s Degree from the University of Kansas, the release says she also brings a knowledge of grant writing.
Lane started E.A. Lane Research Services and has completed ancestral charts for clients. She has also had many public speaking engagements for local, state and collegiate organizations regarding historic, architectural and genealogical research. On four different occasions, her expertise has been called on by authors for historical research of their books, and she wrote and conducted the cemetery walking tours for the Atchison Chamber of Commerce.
The Historical Society says Lane has every qualification to both maintain and improve on the programs currently in place, as well as add to the already impressive array of local artifacts and events that the Society provides for the community.
