Recent UNM graduate Teresa Eckmann is the new postdoctoral fellow at the Center for Southwest Research (CSWR) at Zimmerman Library. She will have collections management and research responsibilities. Eckmann will also focus on cataloging posters in the Sam L. Slick Collection of 10,000 Latin American and political posters, creating digital records and conducting conservation efforts.
“We are pleased to have Teresa here. Her expertise will be extremely helpful in organizing this collection,” said CSWR Director Mike Kelly.
Eckmann previously worked as a collections manager, archivist and photographer for University Libraries and as assistant curator at the National Hispanic Cultural Center’s Visual Arts Program.
“Working with this collection has been a great privilege,” said Eckmann. “I am excited by this opportunity to facilitate public awareness of the collection via the web, in the classroom and through the exhibition at the National Hispanic Cultural Center scheduled for the fall of 2006.”
Dr. Tobias Duran and the Center provide funding for the fellowship for Regional Studies.
