Lawrence Central enjoyed a presentation from the Dole Institute’s Senior Archivist Audrey Coleman who joined the Dole Institute staff in August 2012. She spoke to the club about the goings on at the Dole Institute and also reminded us about the 90th birthday celebration for Senator Dole planned for July 22nd from 12pm to 4pm to celebrate Sen. Dole’s life and legacy.
Being the director of the Robert J. Dole Archive and Special Collections, Audrey heads a staff of professional archivists, museum professionals, and students, and looks forward to furthering the development of a robust digital, physical, and interactive community presence for the Archives’ collections. Along with other Institute leaders, Audrey also participates in the strategic development of Institute programming and resources.
A proud fourth-generation Kansan and a KU graduate, having earned a B.A. with distinction in Spanish, 2001, and an M.A. in Museum Studies in 2004. Audrey, her husband, Dan, and son live in Lawrence.
