Abstract
Mary Nelson, research and operations manager for Special Collections at University Libraries, passed away July 17.
Mary joined Wichita State in 1994 as a library assistant and was instrumental in digitizing materials from Special Collections to give broader access to its materials. She also often served as a liaison to researchers looking to use the vast archives of Special Collections in Ablah Library. Mary was inducted as a Bender of Twigs in 2019 after 25 years of service to the university.
