In Memoriam: Wilma Gibbs Moore

---

Abstract

Wilma Gibbs Moore (March 1951–April 2018) had an outstanding career as an archivist and librarian in Indiana, though the impact of her work was felt regionally and even nationally. She graduated from Indiana University with her MLS and a BA in sociology. Moore worked at Indiana University Libraries, the Indianapolis Public Library, and the Indiana Historical Society Library; she retired from the society last year as the senior archivist in the African American History Program after 30 years of service. While at the society, Moore edited Black History News and Notes, was a contributing editor to Traces of Indiana and Midwestern History, and served as a collaborator on the development of the Indiana Freedom Trails project to preserve Underground Railroad heritage.
