I am very sorry to hear about Diana. I knew her through meetings of the ARLIS-NW chapter, and especially our get-togethers for dinner at someone's house. When you walked into the roonm, she always behaved as if she was just waiting for you to arrive so she could talk to you, and I'm sure she was. A delightful person. I will miss her.

Sincerely, Theresa Iverson ****************************************************************************** Theresa Iverson Reference Librarian, Fine Arts Division Main Library University of British Columbia 1956 Main Mall Vancouver, B.C., Canada V6T 1Z1 (604) 822-4474 [log in to unmask] ****************************************************************************** From: Catherine Quinlan <[log in to unmask]> Subject: Diana Cooper Dear All, It is with great regret and deep sadness that I advise you of Diana Cooper's passing, today, September 17, at 1:00 am. She died peacefully surrounded by her friends. As many of you know, Diana was a long time member of the UBC family, having graduated from UBC in l964 with a Fine Arts degree, and commencing her career with the Library in June 1965 as the Fine Arts Librarian. Diana always took an exceptional interest in the work of the Fine Arts Division. Early in her career, she was in charge of the exhibition catalogues and book selection, as well as providing reference service to many students in the areas of Fine Arts, Architecture, Dance, Fashion, Costume and Artistic Photography. She was frequently applauded by faculty, students and staff within the Fine Arts department for the extra efforts she made to ensure students received a tour of the Fine Arts Division and were well versed in research methods. She thoroughly enjoyed her work and her interactions. Diana served on a number of Library committees over the years, making many valuable contributions to groups that included selection committees, task forces on systems and procedures, communications task groups, and the teaching liaison group. As well, she was active with many professional organizations and associations. Diana attended the inaugural meeting of the Pacific Northwest Chapter of ARLIS/NA in Seattle, was part of the organizing committee for their annual conference in Vancouver in l999 and maintained an active role with this Chapter. As an artist, Diana expressed her creativity in her personal life as well as in the workplace. The Fine Arts displays as well as exhibitions (e.g. Theatrical Costumes, Edwardian Illustrated Books for Children, Art of Egypt, Hogarth's Analysis of Beauty) all benefited from Diana's artistic eye and creativity. She also provided art work for many Library web sites, training programs and other tools developed over the last 10 years. Diana felt a strong bond with those she worked with and went out of her way to ensure a pleasant work environment. She will always be remembered for her weekly flowers, baking and her love of afternoon tea. We have lost a great colleague, wonderful friend, and a gentle and kind woman. The Library would like to ensure that her memory is properly and permanently honored. If you have any suggestions as to how this can be done, please do not hesitate to contact me or Deborah Austin, Director, Library Human Resources.
