Samantha Thompson is presently Senior Archivist for the Region of Peel, in Ontario, Canada. The Region of Peel Archives is a local history and government archives serving a large and complex second-tier municipality slated for dissolution in early 2025. There Samantha has worn all the archival hats from reference work to collections management to exhibit planning, in collaboration with the regional museum and art gallery. She also works closely with the records management and privacy divisions of the region. One of her primary interests is the defence of the archival mission in times of increasing disaffection and uncertainty. Samantha once did a PhD in philosophy, which means she thinks too much about the meaning of everything for her own good. Before training later in life to become an archivist she occupied various roles in academia and the arts.
