Abernethy/Ogburn Library Resources Endowed Fund
Suzzallo Library

Purpose of the Endowment

For preservation of the Libraries' collections and information resources, including reformatting through digitization, microfilming and other technologies; providing metadata, cataloging and other general means of describing collections; and conservation and general preservation treatments such as binding and repair of library materials. The endowment excludes the acquisition of materials except as a means of furthering the preservation of the Libraries collections.


Joyce Ogburn, former Associate Director of the University of Washington Libraries, created this endowment for her father, Thomas Ogburn and two very influential women in her life: her mother, Dorothy Ogburn, and second cousin, Nettie Grace Abernethy. Joyce's career and personal interests show the influence of these two women: librarianship, anthropology, music and the humane treatment of animals.
