Biography
Dr. Heather K. Calloway is currently serving as the Executive Director of University Collections at Indiana University. Her position has broad responsibility for the stewardship of IU's myriad collections, consistent with the university's teaching, research, and service missions.
Heather's research is in preserving fraternal and religious memorabilia and collections and finding innovative ways to engage new audiences with primary sources and collections. Her most recent publication (with co-author R. Bishop) is entitled "Augmented archives: engaging students in archives and special collections through augmented reality technology," which is a chapter in Augmented and Virtual Reality in Libraries (Rowman and Littlefield: 2018).
