Candace “Candy” Waugaman, an Alaska resident since the late 1960’s, has been a collector of Alaskana and Yukoniana for over 20 years. She primarily collects historical postcards and photographs and has over 40,000 in her current collection. Over the years she has also collected ephemera such as travel brochures, sheet music, books, and memorabilia.

Ms. Waugaman’s keen interest in history recently led her to share her collection with the Anchorage Museum of History and Art for the Gold Fever in the North exhibit. She serves as volunteer and board member for several nonprofit agencies including Secretary of the Tanana-Yukon Historical Society. She worked on the Organization Committee for the International Symposium on Mining and in 2003, became president of the Alaska Historical Society.
