​In November 2023, our esteemed museum researcher, archivist and former board member, Pam Barkas, retired after an incredible decade-long journey. We extend our deepest gratitude to Pam for her unwavering dedication and invaluable contributions to the Monrovia Historical Museum, leaving a legacy of excellence, inspiring current and future generations to explore the fascinating tapestry of history with enthusiasm and diligence.

​Throughout Pam's tenure, she has been the backbone of our historical endeavors, meticulously unearthing hidden stories, delving deeply in her research to unravel mysteries, and enriching our exhibits with a wealth of knowledge from her scholarly achievements, impassioned research, and her Monrovia connections. Her steadfast commitment to preservation and archiving our collections has truly left an indelible mark on the way we operate as an institution. We are privileged to have known, collaborated and have been mentored by her. 

Farewell to our esteemed colleague, Pam Barkas! She will always be a cherished member of our museum family! Our sincere thanks for her friendship, endless hours of hard work and immeasurable impact on our institution.
