Education

Lenoil earned bachelor's degree in history from Oakland University and a master's degree in history, with graduate certificate in archival administration, from Wayne State University.

Career

Lenoil began her work at the California State Archives in 1987. In 2006, she was appointed State Archivist and is the first woman to hold that position.

In June 2016, the State Archives announced a partnership with the Google Cultural Institute. Three collections were made available online, which Lenoil said was one step in the process of making records more accessible to the public.

Lenoil serves as an ex officio member of the Board of the California Museum. Since 1992, she has been the Administrator of the Western Archives Institute, an intensive, two-week instructional program.
