Allison Seyler

ADVISORY BOARD AND BALTIMORE CITY HISTORICAL SOCIETY LIASON

Allison Seyler, an archivist and public historian currently works as the Hopkins Retrospective Program Manager at Johns Hopkins University. Her research both as a graduate student at UMBC and archivist on the Legacy of Slavery team at the Maryland State Archives, has been rooted in exploring how historians can illuminate ordinary peoples’ experiences using archival records. She investigates how we make these stories relevant and accessible to public audiences, while directly confronting issues of equity, diversity, and inclusion. A city resident and BARCS volunteer, Allison has also served on the board of the Baltimore City Historical Society since 2018.
