Series 14: Celia K. Maguire, 1919-2014

It is only fitting that a series is dedicated to Mrs. Maguire as she contributed so much to her husband's personal and professional life. She accompanied him on expeditions through inaccessible tropical forests and served as his secretary and assistant in the laboratory and in the field. She was determined to organize, explain, preserve and protect his scientific legacy.

The series covers Mrs.Maguire's documents, correspondence with friends, family, the many personal connections she made through her husband's career and their home in Najayo, Dominican Republic. Of special interest are two scrapbooks of clippings about herself and her husband. Field letters from her husband are located in Series 9. Photographs of Celia Maguire are included in Series 1. Images of the Maguires on expeditions and research trips are located in Series 12, 17 and 18.
