After a small hiatus, Archiving AK, Federal Lands edition is back! This time, Julia O’Malley, granddaughter of Fred and Lidia Selkregg, speaks with archivist Becky Butler Gallegos about her family’s papers. Lidia Selkregg was a land use planner, University of Alaska Anchorage faculty member, earthquake researcher, and Anchorage Assemblywoman (among many other things!). Fred was an insurance adjustor, Postmaster of Anchorage, code enforcement officer (again, among many other things). In fact, we learn Fred was a mystic in this episode!
