National Volunteer Week: Nita Evans

April 15 through 21 is National Volunteer Week. The Library & Archives Center has some great and dedicated volunteers. This is the last in a series of posts about the volunteers here.
Meet Ms. Nita Evans

Nita Evans is not new to the Petroleum Museum as she helps in the Education Department and the Museum Store/Admissions Desk.  With a background as a Veternarian Tecnician, she got to know the various animals in the Education Department, like Betty the Beared Dragon and Lola & Gypsy the Chinchillas.  In September 2011, Nita decided to also spend some time in the Library & Archives Center as well!

She has taken over scanning our large photographic collection of historic images.  Nita states she is interested in preserving the history of the petroleum industry for future generations.  With her time and effort, she's already scanned hundreds, if not thousands, of images to digitally preserve those snapshots of the past.

Nita and her husband Jim are interested in motorsports and are both very involved in the Midland area Corvette Club.  She also enjoys quilting, sewing and other crafts.
