I'm sorry to report that Joan Warnow-Blewett died on Tuesday, May 30,
2006. Joan was a good friend and an extraordinary colleague, and she
was a forceful voice for change in the archival profession. Her work
here at the AIP History Center, along with her many publications and
presentations, helped shape modern archival practice.

Joan retired in 1997 and moved to North Carolina with her husband,
physicist John Blewett. She maintained her ties with the AIP History
Center, first as an occasional consultant and later as a member of our
Development Committee. John died in 2000, and Joan married noted Yale
historian Martin Klein in 2005.
