White departs Institute
1 August 2025
It is with heavy heart that we report that Bibliographer/Data Curator Linda White left us at the end of July. Her husband is in the military and has been transferred to another state. We were hoping she could work remotely, but unfortunately the university does not have business interests in that state. In less than two years White had a tremendous impact on the Institute, the Bibliography Department and our database development. In recognition of the deep connection we have forged, we have named White an adjunct research scholar. An article detailing White's accomplishments will be in the fall issue of our Bulletin.
