To a person early in their career who has demonstrated great interest, scholarship, and enthusiasm for local history. Congratulations Aidan Chisamore!
After graduating from Vassar College in 2024 with a degree in History, Aidan has quickly become an integral member of the DCHS team. Utilizing his wide range of skills and unique aptitude for archiving, Aidan has taken the lead on assessing the DCHS collections, creating best in class searchable public access tools, and developing the foundation for a permanent infrastructure that has transformed the accessibility of the DCHS Archive.
In addition to his work with collections, Aidan has demonstrated initiative in learning and improving all aspects of our “society” including membership, development, and community engagement. As a de facto docent of the Historical Society, Aidan is often the first point of contact for visitors, and has guided countless inquirers as they have begun their Dutchess County history exploration with courtesy.
