Dear Colleagues: It is with great sadness that I share the news that
our dear friend and valued colleague, Dr. Patricia Morris, passed
away on May 7, 2010. Pat was Associate Professor and Faculty
Director of Preservation for the University Libraries, University of
Colorado at Boulder. She had a long history in collections
preservation. Prior to her position at UC Boulder Pat worked at the
South Carolina Department of Archives and History for 11 years as
the Director of Collections Management, and two earlier years as the
Supervisor of Conservation Services. From 1993 to 2001 she was
Adjunct Faculty at the University of SC in the College of Library
and Information Science teaching preservation administration. Pat
served on the SC State Historical Records Advisory Board as Deputy
Coordinator for most of the 1990s. She was Archivist for the TN
State Library and Archives from 1980 to 1987.

Pat published extensively on topics such as managing the
preservation environment, survey tools, and emergency planning and
response and given many excellent presentations. She was a very
active member of SAA and PALMCOP, and more recently became active
with ALCTS PARS, serving as the Preservation Administrators Interest
