Ginessa Mahar is the Anthropology Librarian and Library Liaison to the American Indian and Indigenous Studies Program at the University of Florida. She is an affiliate faculty member in the Department of Anthropology and a member of the Laboratory of Southeastern Archaeology at UF. An archaeologist, Mahar earned her PhD at UF in Anthropology focusing on the social and technological changes related to fishing practices among Indigenous communities along the Florida Gulf Coast during the Woodland period. She uses her background as a researcher in archaeology, and anthropology more broadly, to assist faculty and students in their research, learning, and teaching objectives. To this effort, Mahar curates several research guides related to anthropology and Indigenous studies. In addition to librarianship, Mahar brings her experience in museum collections and archives to the role having worked at the American Museum of Natural History prior to joining the UF Libraries. Her current archival work and research focuses on the revitalization and ethical curation and sharing of over 1,000 Native American oral histories collected in the 1970s from Southeastern Indian communities, including the Catawba, Lumbee, Mississippi Choctaw, Poarch Creek, and Seminole Tribe of Florida. A collaborative endeavor with the originating Tribes, this work was recently featured in UF Explore Magazine.
