J. Kevin Graffagnino Joins Commission
The American Association for State and Local History (AASLH) has named J. Kevin Graffagnino, the newly appointed Director of the Vermont Historical Society, to be its representative on the National Historical Publications and Records Commission. He succeeds Brent D. Glass in that capacity.
When he takes up his new post, Graffagnino will leave the position of Executive Director of the Kentucky Historical Society, which he has held since 1999. He previously served as director of the library at the State Historical Society of Wisconsin. Before assuming that post in 1995, he was head of special collections at the University of Vermont Library. He holds a doctorate in history from the University of Massachusetts and a B.A. and an M.A. in history from the University of Vermont.
In addition to 25 years of experience with historical library and archival collections, Graffagnino has edited and designed books, helped organize traveling museum exhibitions, and actively promoted statewide partnerships to further historical initiatives and projects. The recipient of several awards of merit from the AASLH and other organizations, he is the author or editor of 13 books and 30 scholarly and popular articles on history and library topics.
