摘要：Nelle Barmore, Librarian of the Communicable Disease Center of the Public Health Service, in Atlanta, Georgia, died on February 15, 1957, after a long illness. Miss Barmore, member of an old Atlanta family, earned her A.B. at Randolph-Macon Woman's College, and her A.B. in Library Science at Emory University. She began her library career as an assistant in the Minneapolis Public Library, where she served from 1922 to 1923. From 1923 to 1927, she was Extension Librarian of the Greenville, South Carolina Public Library, and while there she established the first travelling library in the South. She was Librarian of the Heckscher Foundation for Children in New York City, in 1927, and left there to become Librarian of the Rockefeller Foundation and its General Education Board, from 1928 to 1942. While with the Rockefeller Foundation she compiled a cumulative index to the Collected Papers of the International Health Division. Her next move was to Florida, in 1942, where she served successively as Head Cataloger, Acting Librarian, and Librarian of the State University of Florida, at Gainesville, until 1946.
