Alumna Helps Lead Effort to Chronicle History of the Pandemic

Michelle Isopo ’09 and a team of other local librarians realized early on during the pandemic that they needed to create a virtual space for people to connect and share their stories. The site they created, Leaving Our Fingerprints on History, has grown into a global virtual exhibit, with people from around the world sharing their images and thoughts about life during COVID 19. The exhibit is coordinated by the Southern Adirondack Library System and will become part of the New York State Library Archives. Michelle graduated with her degree in Business Administration and went on to earn her B.B.A. in 2016 from SUNY Delhi (magna cum laude) and M.S. in Information Science with a concentration in Archives and Records Administration in 2018 from the University at Albany. She is the Adult Services Librarian and Local History Archivist at Schuylerville Public Library.
