Career

Punzalan began a career in archives and museums following his studies at the University of the Philippines. After undergraduate studies at the University of the Philippines, he served as the archivist of the Jorge B. Vargas Museum and Filipiniana Research Center. This work served as partial basis for Punzalan's 2005 Masters thesis, which discussed the context of museum archives and used the Vargas Museum as a case study.[2] Following graduation, Punzalan taught at the University of the Philippines School of Library and Information Studies.[3] He later served as an archivist processing records of the Culion Leprosarium, a U.S. colonial institution for the segregation of individuals with Hansen's disease.[4] Punzalan was also recognized as a historian of archives in the Philippines, where he published about the legacy of three centuries of Spanish colonization on the Philippine National Archives.[5]

Punzalan later moved to the United States. In 2013, he completed a doctorate in information science at the University of Michigan. His primary advisor was Margaret Hedstrom, who supervised his doctoral dissertation, "Virtual Reunification: Bits and Pieces Gathered Together to Represent the Whole." This doctoral research was a basis for ongoing work in "virtual reunification," which investigated the possibility of reunifying dispersed collections, such as those purchased, collected, or forcibly removed from the Philippines during the American colonial period. In particular, he explored the concept of "archival diasporas" through a study of the dispersal of anthropological and ethnographic photographs by Dean C. Worcester, a U.S. Colonial Administrator and academic.[6]

Punzalan has pursued a career as an academic in the United States. From 2013 to 2019, he served as an Assistant Professor at the University of Maryland College of Information Studies.[3] Since 2020, he has served as an Associate Professor at the University of Michigan, where he teaches courses in archives, archival appraisal, scholarly communications, and museum studies.[1] At Michigan, he has also founded a project to research and repair the University's colonial legacies, including the collection and disposession of information, ethnographic materials, natural history specimens, and photographs from the Philippines during the U.S. colonial period.[7][8]

Punzalan has been an active member of the Society of American Archivists (SAA) since 2007. He served as the Education Committee Chair of the SAA Visual Materials Section from 2013-2016, on the steering committee and later as Chair of the Native American Archives Section (2015-2017), and Punzalan served as an elected member of the Society of American Archivists (SAA) Council (2018-2021).[3] In 2022, he was nominated to run for President of the SAA.[3]
