Submitted by City of Lacey
Longtime Lacey Museum volunteer Susan Goff was recently named as the city’s 2013 Historian of the Year by Mayor Vigil Clarkson and the Lacey City Council. Lacey’s Historical Commission unanimously approved Goff’s nomination in recognition of her decades-long support of the museum, where she began as a volunteer cataloging historical photos in 1987.
Over those years, Goff, who holds a diploma in Cultural Conservation, was responsible for creating the museum’s indexing system for photographs and negatives, conducting historical research, and assisting with exhibit design. She has also donated many locally-significant items to the museum’s collections.
The award was made during the city’s observance of Lacey History Month. Several community members have received the honor over the last decade, including Goff’s daughter, Andrea Taylor.
