Special Collections and Archives has welcomed two new archivists to help develop two specific collections — neurodiversity and military heritage. Both positions were funded by gifts from private donors.
Erica Morris is the new archivist for military heritage. Morris will work to maintain and expand our military history collections, support the Veterans’ Oral History Project, and help document Clemson’s long military heritage. Morris comes to Clemson from the Olivia Raney Local History Library in Raleigh, North Carolina, where she worked as an archivist for three years. Prior to that, she worked as a librarian for the Sussex County Library System in New Jersey. She earned a certification from the Academy of Certified Archivists in 2025.
Morris completed her Bachelor of Arts in history from The College of New Jersey and earned a Master of Library Science with a specialization in archives and records management from Indiana University.
Morris’ position was funded by a generous gift from Kelly ’80 and Yvonne Durham.
Emma Squire is the new Shepard Family Archivist for Neurodiversity. She will develop a new collection related to the history of neurodiversity with a special focus on the Clemson LIFE program and similar programs. This collection will be among the first of its kind in the country.
Squire served as the archivist for Kalaupapa National Historical Park in Molokai, Hawaii. She has previous experience with the National Park Service History Collection and with Archives and Special Collections with the University of Pittsburgh Library System.
Squire earned bachelor’s degrees in art history and history from Gustavus Adolphus College in Minnesota, a Master of Arts in theatre with an emphasis on history from Miami University in Ohio, and a Ph.D. in performance studies and theatre from the University of Pittsburgh.
Squire’s position was funded by a donation from Bob and Beth Shepard, both from the Class of 1978.
