Top SchoolJessica Parr is a historian and archivist specializing in Early American and Early Modern Atlantic history, with a decade of college teaching and extensive fellowship experience including the Royal Historical Society and Gilder Lehrman Institute. She is the author of Inventing George Whitefield (University Press of Mississippi, 2015) and combines traditional scholarship with digital humanities and public history practice, co-developing a Public History minor and contributing to the IMLS-funded PLACE Project’s geospatial interface. Based in Exeter, NH, she teaches at Simmons College and the University of New Hampshire while consulting on preservation, metadata, and digital repositories. Her work bridges race, religion, and memory studies across archival research, curriculum design, and applied digital projects—an unusual blend that makes her equally at home in special collections and web-based public history platforms.
