Kaitlin Ketcham, Archvist
archivist@shelterislandhistorical.org
Kaitlin was born and raised in Cutchogue, but often spent her summers at Quinipet Camp and Retreat Center and celebrated many holidays with her grandparents, who were residents of Shelter Island. She is a Graduate of Long Island University where she earned both her undergraduate degree in Music Education and her Masters Degree in Archival Studies.
Kaitlin is excited to be returning to her roots, and exploring the history of an island that has always held very fond memories for her. When she is not working with history, she can be found rock climbing, gardening, writing, painting, teaching music and chess, and stargazing!

Lucas Deupree, Museum Collections Curator
museumcollections@shelterislandhistorical.org
Lucas was born and raised in New Jersey and grew up spending his weekends and summers on Shelter Island. After graduating from Wesleyan University, where he studied Film and American Literature, Lucas returned to Shelter Island full-time and started volunteering at the Historical Society while working at Black Cat Books.
Lucas is thrilled to be part of the staff team now, where he can put his passion for organizing and cataloguing to use. Lucas loves watching old movies, reading new books, and the Green Trail at Mashomack.
Alexandra M. Binder, Marketing Coordinator & Bookkeeper
communications@shelterislandhistorical.org
Alexandra grew up on Shelter Island and graduated from Shelter Island School. She spent much of her childhood volunteering for the Society’s fundraising events with her mother and aunt. For two summers during High School she worked as the Summer Intern. After graduating summa cum laude from SUNY Stony Brook with a BS in Business Management/Sustainable Studies, she found her way back to the Society in 2012.
Alexandra is particularly pleased that her sons will now be able to experience the virtues of the Society and The History Center. She hopes they too will have fond childhood memories of hiding under desks during meetings, helping set up for events, and exploring the exhibits and archives.
