My research on the history of witchcraft in New Hampshire was featured in an article in The New Hampshire. Read the article here: https://tnhdigital.com/22912/uncategorized/the-forgotten-witches-of-new-hampshire/
In the summer of 2019, I served as the Project Historian with Nearview, LLC for a survey of six cemeteries in Bristol, NH. I conducted background research to establish the origins of each cemetery, assessed their historical significance, and documented the results in a report.

The final report, Archaeological Survey of Six Historic Burial Grounds in the Town of Bristol, Grafton County, New Hampshire, was submitted to the town in July 2019.
