During the summer of 2022 Kayla participated in an internship sponsored by the National Endowment for the Humanities and the Tennessee Historical Society, doing research and archival work relating to Tennessee history and the women’s suffrage movement in the upper Cumberland counties. Part of her duties as a summer intern were to reorganize and catalog the extensive archives of the Tennessee Historical Quarterly, the Historical Society’s official journal publication. She reduced the number of archived copies of Quarterly issues down to twenty-five each (with the exception of special editions) and updated a running inventory list as she went, counting every single issue of the Tennessee Historical Quarterly from the start of publication in 1896 til the most recent 2022 issues. She also wrote two articles for the Historical Society’s online blog and a book review for the Tennessee Historical Quarterly. Pictured left is the entrance to the Historical Society's offices and archives.
