2023-2024 Editorial Board

The Ramsey County Historical Society (RCHS) Editorial Board is a diverse volunteer committee that meets every other month at the Landmark Center in St. Paul and online during winter months – January and March. The board includes retired history and writing professors; educators; amateur and professional researchers and historians; community leaders and activists; legal professionals; and experts in the history of local transportation, labor, business, politics, Jewish and African American culture, and prominent historical leaders and changemakers. It is currently chaired by Anne Field. At meetings, the board advises the editor, considers article proposals, and provides direction and contacts. Outside of meetings, members volunteer their time to research and write articles, book reviews, and Facebook blurbs; review and approve manuscripts; shoot and/or secure photographs for upcoming issues; participate in History Revealed programs, produce podcasts; serve as volunteer tour guides at historic St. Paul sites; share story ideas, tips, and contacts; and advocate for RCHS publications and the society as a whole. RCHS is grateful for the help and insight of this dedicated group of volunteers.
