Louise Darling Papers, 1929-1999

http://www.oac.cdlib.org/ark:/13030/kt2d5nc6bw

Louise Marie Darling (1911-1999) received degrees in Botany (B.A.) from the University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA) and Botany (M.A.) and Librarianship (Certification and Credential) from the University of California, Berkeley. As a civilian in the U.S. Army Library Service she supervised Army libraries for Hawaii and the Philippines (1944-1947). After returning to UCLA, she founded and headed, until her retirement in 1978, the Biomedical Library which was named for her in 1987. She received many major awards and honors in the profession of medical librarianship, and consulted widely. The papers contain correspondence, reports, publication drafts, teaching materials, plus newspaper clippings, reprints, photographs, and artifacts. The bulk focuses on Darling's professional accomplishments aside from administration of the UCLA Biomedical Library. A smaller part pertains to personal matters: education, positions held, and relations with staff, colleagues, and family.
