Marissa Hiller

A Seattle native, Marissa’s interests include a passion for local history, and sharing and fostering community.  Her one literary claim to fame was once reading all seven volumes of Proust’s In Search of Lost Time.

She is an archivist and cultural heritage specialist with over fifteen years of experience working for libraries, museums and archives, including the City Reliquary Museum, the New England Society, New York University, the Art Students League, the Washington State Jewish Historical Society, and HistoryLink.

She earned her BA from the University of Washington in Art History, and her MLIS from Pratt Institute, with a specialization in archives. 

She loves to sew and restore vintage clothing. As the daughter of a librarian, Marissa spent a good portion of her younger years at the University of Washington’s Suzzallo/Allen Library.
