Melissa Stoner

Melissa Stoner is Native American Studies Librarian at UC Berkeley in the Ethnic Studies Library. She specializes in metadata and archives digitization. Stoner is Diné/Navajo and grew up on the Navajo Nation in New Mexico. She was a consultant for UC Berkeley summer institutes: the “Breath of Life” Native American language revitalization program and the Native American Museums Study Institute. Stoner is the incoming chair of the Society of American Archivists—Native American Archives Section. She also serves on the SAA inaugural Native American Archives Repatriation Committee. She recently served on the planning committee for the international metadata conference organized by NISO, the National Institute of Standards Organization. Stoner is a fan of horror fiction and movies. She is excited that there are finally more Native authors getting published in all genres. She has fond memories of her grandmother, a preschool teacher and restaurant cook, teaching her to read.
