Sarah Karpman

Sarah Karpman, a former intern at the Jewish Women’s Archive, is a budding oral historian, part-time secretary at an affordable-housing non-profit, and a newcomer to San Francisco’s rich cultural life. While she’s not looking for a bus stop or consulting her Muni map, she volunteers with the Lavender Scrolls Project, preserving the history of Bay area GLBT seniors, hikes up nearby Bernal Hill, and saves up for her future project, a nation-wide oral history tour of the last remaining women’s bookstores. Until then, she’s co-organizing a GLBT affinity group for Bay area Brandeis alumni.
