Archives & Special Collections Distinguished Speakers and 2025 James W. Scott Fellows Dr. Sara Ng and Dr. Derek Moscato will showcase research they conducted while in residency at the Center for Pacific Northwest Studies during Spring and Summer, 2025. The Center houses nearly four hundred archival collections documenting the region’s past and present, including collections of personal, family, and political papers, organizational and business records, and wide-ranging formats including correspondence, photographs, maps, oral histories, and audio-visual materials.

This talk is co-sponsored by Western Libraries Archives & Special Collections, Western’s departments of Linguistics, Journalism, and History, and the Center for Canadian-American Studies. It is offered as part of the James W. Scott Regional Research Fellowship, awarded annually to scholars who conduct significant research using archival holdings at the Center for Pacific Northwest Studies. Funds are in honor of the late Dr. James W. Scott, a noted scholar of the Pacific Northwest region, and a founder and first director of the Center.
