University of Miami Libraries (UML) is pleased to announce the appointment of Nicholas “Nick” Iwanicki as the new university archivist for University Archives. Nick will provide leadership, research services, and coordination for all aspects of University Archives collections held by the Otto G. Richter Library and will plan and promote the collection’s development and outreach in collaboration with Richter’s Manuscripts and Archives Management department, the subject specialty libraries, and with stakeholders across the University and in the UM Alumni community.
Prior to his appointment at UML, Nick served as interim executive director for the Colorado School Mines Geology Museum and as special collections librarian in residency for the Arthur Lakes Library at the Colorado School of Mines, positions that have shaped his archival and leadership skills. Before that, he was an independent project archivist to The Caribou Companies in Colorado. He holds a B.A. in history and a Master’s in Library and Information Science from the University of Denver in Colorado.
Nick started as university archivist on August 16, 2021, and he looks forward to leading UML’s support for the University’s 2025–2026 centennial celebration.
