Nicole Skalenko holds a BA in Honors History from Kean University and is currently earning her MA in American History from Rutgers University, Camden. She focuses on the eighteenth-century political history of colonial New York and the history of the American Revolution in New Jersey, New York, and Philadelphia. Her research has focused on William Livingston and his role as a noted essayist and political propagandist for the past four years. Nicole has also assisted in preparing collections for digitization, such as Kean University’s Liberty Hall Collection, which contains eighteenth through early twentieth-century manuscripts derived from the Kean and Livingston family dynasties. She will be working on the Revolutionary City project while at the APS.
