About the presenter
Tammy K. Williams is an archivist and the social media manager at the Harry S. Truman Library in Independence, Missouri. Tammy has been employed at the Library since 2001 and has a strong connection to Independence. She has lived in Independence nearly her entire life, attended Truman High School, and visited both the Truman Home and the Truman Library numerous times as a child with various out-of-town relatives. She states that the best part about her job is making more of Mr. and Mrs. Truman’s materials available to the public in a variety of ways – whether on social media, public programs, or in the National Archives Catalog.
