After forty years of exemplary service, Marjorie McNinch, Hagley’s extraordinary Reference Archivist, is retiring. It is often said that Marge delivers “the gold standard” of public services, and time and time again scholars have written to us celebrating her contribution to their success. It is now time to honor her for the indelible imprint she leaves at Hagley.
The newly established “McNinch Endowment Fund for Reference and Outreach” will be used to promote Hagley Library’s world-class collections and advance researchers’ access to those collections.
Our goal is to raise $100,000 in order to generate annual resources of approximately $5,000 per year to fund a range of outreach projects ─ from subject guides, to finding aids, to web-based products, to History Day support, to summer internships that teach graduate students the fine art of reference work. The possibilities are endless!
Checks may be made payable to Hagley Museum and Library with “McNinch Endowment Fund” noted in the memo line and send to my attention. Or you may make a contribution through the website - www.hagley.org/library/mcninchfund.
Please help us honor Marge’s legacy as she begins a new chapter in her life. This endowment fund will honor her fine work, her commitment to scholarship, and her strong public service for years to come.
Your help will be greatly appreciated!
