Duniway was the first Oregon State Archivist and a champion for historic preservation in Salem, and this is the author's Presentation Copy to him. He was a founding officer, in 1940, "of the American Association for State and Local History and a founding member of the National Trust for Historic Preservation, chartered by Congress in 1947," and was the grandson of Oregon suffrage leader Abigail Scott Duniway (according to the Oregon Encyclopedia web-site), and likely encountered GPH while earning a Master's degree in history and a Library Certificate from the University of California at Berkeley. xiii, 1-119 pp. Member, I.O.B.A., C.B.A., and adherent to the highest ethical standards.
