Just a quick note to add another Zorach connection. Rebecca Zorach, art history prof. at Northwestern, authored a title in the current call for ARLIS/NA Reviews (among several
other titles):
Art for People’s Sake: Artists and Community in Black Chicago, 1965-1975 by Rebecca Zorach.
Duke University Press, March 2019. 416 p. ill. ISBN 9781478001409 (pbk.), $28.95.
What a remarkable family!

Subject: Re: [ARLIS-L] obituary of ARLIS/NA member
Thank you Deirdre for posting this. I am recent enough to the profession that I had never heard of Peggy Zorach. But in the last few years (between the MoMA archives' exhibition
project and research by our education department) we have come to a greater appreciation of the extended Zorach family, not just William and Marguerite Zorach, but Peggy's sister-in-law Dahlov Zorach Ipcar, and their
important
role in MoMA's history [moma.org]. I'm fascinated that, through Peggy, the family has further connections to the New York museum and library community.
Thank you, Deirdre,
for sending us this obituary. Peggy was a warm, generous person, whom it was my privilege to know in the early days of ARLIS. She was comfortable, as Anne says, and professional,
as Janis noted. She was informed and intelligent and ever a pleasure to see. I am glad she had a good life.
Deirdre,
Thank you so much for posting this obituary. Although I’m saddened to learn of Peggy’s death, I’m grateful to be able to read her history and to think fondly about this lovely
person. And to learn that she lived such a good, long life.
I became an art librarian in 1965, being hired by the Toledo Museum of Art. I retired from there in 2009. My first professional library convention was SLA in Minneapolis. I
traveled with my mother, who was a financial librarian. The first day, I luckily met Bill Walker, Alan Townsend, and Elizabeth Usher - a stars in the field. If I did not meet Peggy at that time, it would have been within a year or two. She was someone with
whom I always felt very comfortable, we being at similar points in our careers, despite the difference in our ages. We only saw each other at SLA or at ARLIS as the years passed, but we corresponded between times and I was pleased to be invited to dinner at
the Zorachs’ home once or twice when ARLIS met in New York.
Somehow, we lost track of each other after she moved to Maine. But I have fond memories of this quiet, smart, accomplished, and friendly colleague.
