About the Editor

My name is Chris Schreck and I'm a Colorado Native. I have a Bachelor's Degree in History from Colorado State University-Pueblo (CSUP), a Master's Degree in History from the University of Colorado-Colorado Springs (UCCS), and I have been a Certified Archivist since 2020. I moved to Pueblo from the Denver area in 2012 to attend CSUP, which is where I became interested in southern Colorado's unique history. I was also introduced to digital exhibit production as a student there, and learned of the opportunities that historians and archivists have using modern technology to understand and interpret past events. 

I began working as a volunteer and an intern at the Steelworks Center of the West in 2013. In 2014 I completed a number of research projects working from their archives, and I was hired to manage those archives after graduation in 2015. I worked there for over three years, the last of which I spent in the role of Interim Executive Director. I left the Steelworks Center in 2018 to pursue a Master's Degree, but I have continued my volunteer work there in the years since. I was as an Archivist in the Clark Special Collections branch of the U.S. Air Force Academy from 2020-2024, and I'm currently working at Kansas State University in Manhattan, Kansas. However, I'm still fascinated by the industrial and cultural history of the American Southwest, which is why I continue to maintain this site.
