2 | Compiled by Kate Ozment. This information was gathered from my own research, requests on social media accounts connected to the Women in Book History Bibliography, and a SHARP-L listserv query. I have begun to verify spelling, dates, and other identifying information, but this process is ongoing; everything here is in draft form. Sincere thanks to those who contributed to this project, whose names are logged as they were listed when we communicated. In some cases, I have copy-pasted from this person's communication and in many cases I edited the language for length, clarity, and accuracy. If you would like to cite this page or the language here, please contact me at kateozment (at) gmail (dot) com to clarify ownership; I can also put you in contact with the original author. The WBHB is doing an ongoing series under #womeninbiblio on Twitter (@grubstreetwomen) that profiles some of the figures on this list; feel free to add to the conversation.

5 | H.W. Wilson Co. women | The H.W. Wilson Co. was a sweatshop for bibliography for years. Many women worked there for long periods, without recognition, at what was believed to be low wages. The company wouldn't write letters of recommendation, or so I heard, so career advancement in the field outside the company was hard to manage for people employed there. (They would acknowledge that someone had been employed.) They produced the Art Index., etc. | -- | sharp-l | Deidre Stam | ||||||||||||||||||||||
6 | Eliza J. Skinner | West Virginia University Library Director, 1897–1902; she completed an inventory of the library, classified the books according to the Dewey Decimal System, began a dictionary catalog, abolished a $2 deposit previously charged to borrow a book, instituted open shelves for the book collection, and established regular library hours. She taught a course “Use of Books” and established a faculty Library Committee. In 1902, Miss Skinner resigned to accept a position in the cataloging department of the Library of Congress. She had a 33-year career at the Library of Congress and was one of the developers of LC’s extensive bibliographic control system. Because of her abilities and accomplishments, she was among the first Federal employees exempted by executive order of the President from mandatory retirement. https://lib.wvu.edu/downtown/about/elizas/ | ?-1935 | sharp-l | Stewart Plein | ||||||||||||||||||||||

The first in her long run of annual reports announced 70,082 new cards, 33,495 old cards added to or altered, and 3,551 guide cards added to the card catalog. Her big innovation for 1901 was replacing the six copyists writing catalog cards by hand with three women operating typewriters. In 1889, when Harriet started working there, the Library contained just under 100,000 volumes; by her retirement in 1939, there were 1,400,000 volumes, and 37 members of Harriet’s staff" https://womeninthestacks.wordpress.com/ | 1866-1958 | Michelle Chesner | |||||||||||||||||||||||

Heath’s Golden Key Series. Prior to her arrival at WVU, while she was a student at Radcliffe, Leonard authored An Inquiry into the Authorship of the Middleton-Rowley Plays, 1897, with George Pierce Baker. While at WVU, Leonard was mindful of the scholarship of her colleagues when she compiled and published the Bibliography of West Virginia University, its Faculty and Graduates. 1867-1907. Today, Leonard’s bibliography serves as a useful and important record of the foundational scholarship published by WVU’s earliest faculty members. https://news.lib.wvu.edu/2015/09/16/pauline-gertrude-wiggin-leonard-the-scholar-librarian/ | 1869-? | sharp-l | Stewart Plein | ||||||||||||||||||||||
