Nikki Koehlert
Austin History Center Digital Archivist/Archivist II
Austin History Center
I was born at Darnell Army Hospital (Fort Hood, Texas), grew up outside of Houston, and have lived in Nebraska and Oregon. I studied Studio Art and Art History for my Bachelor of Arts at Hastings College in Hastings, Nebraska (the birthplace of Kool-Aid). I lived in Portland, OR for 16 years where I pursued art, worked at Multnomah County Library, and completed a 2 year art conservation internship with the Portland Art Museum. I returned to Texas in 2015 to pursue my MSIS at UT, and now have worked at Austin History Center as the first Digital Archivist for the last 5 years. I love to talk about movies, art, music, travel, cooking, hiking, books and cats (or most fuzzy creatures)!
