Aiko Gonzalez hails from the forests of Arnold, California, and is a Senior at UC Berkeley studying Political Science with a concentration in International Relations. Aiko hopes to combine her inquisitive nature of politics and society with her fascination of history. She has joined The Magnes in hopes of learning not only research methods but to also start the conversation of how history brought us to the present and connects with the future of society. Upon completion of her final year, Aiko will be teaching elementary school in San Jose, California.

Alexandra is a sophomore majoring in History and minoring in French.  Alongside her work in the Magnes, she works at the Essig Museum of Entomology assisting with archival procedures and has worked with other museums during her high school years.  She is very interested historically in the 18th and 19th centuries across Europe and the United States.

Andrea Daniel, who works at the American Cancer Society in Oakland, California, began volunteering with the Judah L. Magnes Museum in 2009, reorganizing the "vertical files" in the library, and altogether assisting the staff in preparation for the move of the collection to the University of California in the summer of 2010.

Anna Bella Korbatov, UC Berkeley class of 2015, studies Political Science. Anna Bella collaborated on a major inventory project devoted to the extensive collection of postcards at The Magnes. The over 3,000 postcards in this collection document Jewish life, sites, cityscapes, and cultures across the global diaspora. 

Christine Liu, double major in History and Economics at UC Berkeley, worked on small archival collections, which document a wide variety of topics, ranging from art collecting in Southern California to Jewish history in Germany from the 18th through the 20th centuries. 

Daniel Fisher is a doctoral candidate in the Department of Near Eastern Studies at UC Berkeley. Daniel’s research explores social, historical, and literary questions in the Hebrew Bible and early Jewish biblical interpretation. He is currently writing a dissertation entitled, “Memories of the Ark: Cultural Memory, Material Culture, and the Construction of the Past in Biblical Societies.” The project develops a cultural biography of the Ark of the Covenant, exploring its use and reuse as a site ofmemory before and after its loss.
