Myra (Angeline Myra), 1905-1986 Language: English Administrative Information Prefered Citation Smithsonian Institution Archives, Record Unit 7333, A. Myra Keen Papers Historical Note Angeline Myra Keen (1905-1986) was a long-time member of the faculty of Stanford University. Although her academic training was in psychology, she became an expert in paleontology, and more particularly in malacology, the branch of zoology that deals with mollusks. She produced a large body of popular and scholarly work, taught many students, and was widely respected in her field. After graduating from Colorado College (1930), Myra Keen and her mother moved to Stanford, where Keen took her M.A. in 1931, and then to the University of California at Berkeley, from which she received her doctorate in 1934. There were few jobs available in her field, so she took a volunteer job working on shells at Stanford. There the paleontologist Hubert Gregory Schenck encouraged her to study in that field, especially malacology. Keen spent the remainder of her career at Stanford. She belatedly became an assistant professor in 1954, an associate professor in 1960 and, in 1965, a full professor. At that time she was one of only three women so employed in the scientific disciplines at Stanford. Keen undertook extensive field work on the west coast of America, as far south as Peru. She published her finest work in 1958, The Shells of Tropical West America: Marine Mollusks from Lower California to Colombia. Professor Keen was active in many professional societies. She served as president of the American Malacological Union in 1948; in 1949, as a member of the Paleontological Society and chairman of the Pacific Coast Section. In 1970 she was chairman of the Western Malacological Union. She also served as chairman of the Committee on Nomenclature of the Society of Systematic Zoology. Myra Keen received many honors in recognition of her accomplishments. She was a member of Phi Beta Kappa; was made a Guggenheim Fellow in 1964; and, in 1979, became the first woman to receive the Fellows' Medal of the California Academy of Sciences. In 1975 Emperor Hirohito of Japan, himself a noted Page 1 of 43 A. Myra Keen Papers https://siarchives.si.edu/collections/siris_arc_217489 student of shells, asked to meet Keen on his visit to the United States, and they discussed the molluscan faunas of Japan and northwestern North America. Professor Keen was an individual of quiet temper but strong convictions. A devoted pacifist, she joined the Religious Society of Friends in 1964. She retired from Stanford in 1972 but continued her interest in scholarship and in the work of her students and colleagues until her death. Introduction This finding aid was digitized with funds generously provided by the Smithsonian Institution Women's Committee. Descriptive Entry This collection documents the professional career of Angeline Myra Keen, mostly her years on the faculty of Stanford University. A paleontologist and malacologist, Keen's interests were diverse and included marine molluscan Cenozoic paleontology; neontology and zoogeography of western North America; and, especially, problems in systematics and nomenclature. Keen was also active in professional organizations and wrote extensively. The greater part of the collection consists of professional correspondence and writing, and records of field trips undertaken to pursue her research. The collection also contains family correspondence and other material documenting her childhood, education, and genealogical interests, as well as philosophical and religious reflections on the human condition.

  • Seventy-Five Years of Molluscs: a History of the American
    Amer. Malac. Bull. 28: 191-213 (2010) Seventy-fi ve years of molluscs: A history of the American Malacological Society on the occasion of its 75th annual meeting Paula M. Mikkelsen Paleontological Research Institution, 1259 Trumansburg Road, Ithaca, New York 14850, U.S.A. Corresponding author: [email protected] Abstract: The American Malacological Union (now Society), founded in 1931 as a national organization of collectors, students, professionals, and others interested in the holistic study of molluscs, is now an international society mainly of professionals. Although diminished in size, it continues to attract and fund students, publish a respected peer-reviewed journal, and host annual meetings featuring world-class symposia. In recognition of the society’s 75th annual meeting in 2009, I provide a detailed account of the founding, meetings, membership, publications, governance, and societal identity of AMS, gleaned from meeting programs, newsletters, scrapbooks, correspondence, and the memories of Past Presidents and other members. Anniversaries are times of celebration, remembering, Congress as the Populist Party candidate in 1898, and for refl ection, and summarizing. The 75th annual meeting1 of the governor of Maine in 1900 as the Socialist Party candidate American Malacological Union (AMU; now Society, hereaf- (Martin 1995, Murray 1999, see additional references on ter AMS) held in Ithaca, New York, in the summer of 2009, Lermond cited by Coan et al. 2009).

Today’s AMS is fraught with problems: included Indian artifacts, rocks and minerals, herbarium diminishing membership, increasing costs, decreasing return specimens, stuffed mammals and birds, bird eggs and nests, on investments, and fewer and fewer members willing to hold pinned insects, and the largest shell collection in the state of offi ce.

Petit3 ABSTRACT This paper provides a comprehensive catalog of biographical and bibliographical publications for over 5,000 malacologists, conchologists, paleontologists, and others with an interest in mollusks, from Aristotle to the present. For each person, the birth/death years and nationality are given (when known), followed by bibliographic citations to the literature about that person and his/her collections and publications. Appendices provide citations to (1) publications on oceanographic expeditions and other natural history expeditions that resulted in the collection and description of mollusks; (2) histories of malacological institutions and organizations; and (3) histories and dates of publication of malacological journals and journals that are frequently cited in malacological publications, such as those of the Zoological Society of London.

Every generation of malacologists has been faced with this perennial problem, whether out of curiosity, or driven by a need to solve a problem relating to some aspect of molluscan taxonomy, systematics, or a wide range of other research and collection management issues.
