Derek Webb is fairly new addition to the W family. He is originally from South Bend, Ind., and now lives in Columbus with his wife Amber Handy, an associate professor of history here at the W. He took on the duty of becoming the archivist for Mississippi University for Women in January of 2013.
Q: What brought you to the W as the university’s archivist?
A: “Well, I had started volunteering in the archives in August of 2012, just kind of helping out where I could. And over the next six months, I gradually transitioned from that into full-time work as university archivist.”
