Colleen Shoghan

Colleen Shoghan served as the head archivist of the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) until her dismissal in early 2023. She was appointed during a tumultuous period marked by conflicts between the Trump administration and cultural institutions, particularly due to efforts to investigate the former president's handling of classified documents. Shoghan's tenure was cut short as part of Trump's broader campaign against NARA, and her removal showcased the challenges faced by public institutions under political pressure.
