In Memoriam: Thomas Shuler Shaw, 1906–1975

Abstract

It is with great sadness that I note the passing of Thomas Shuler Shaw, a member of our Editorial Board. A knowledgeable and indefatigable bibliographer, specialist in documents, author and reviewer, librarian and educator, he will be missed by the profession as a whole. We were made richer for his presence, by his ideas, his efforts and humanism, and—although the pace of life sometimes diminishes our immediate awareness of such virtues so unassumingly given—we were indeed fortunate that our lives coincided with his. I will personally miss him more than words can express. As I said so many times to Tom as we parted company at ALA Conferences, “Thank you for your time…. So long.”
