- Abstract:
- Emily Walz interviews Distinguished Service Award winners Sherman Clarke (2005) and Daniel Starr (2014) on June 6, 2017, at the New York Public Library. Both librarians are career catalogers who joined ARLIS in its earliest years; Clarke is best known as the founder of Art NACO. Clarke and Starr both share their experiences during the Vietnam War, when each was classified as a conscientious objector. The interview covers the challenges of the Society, including working with management companies and volunteer participation. The interviewees also discuss the culture of ARLIS/NA, in particular its inclusion of gay and lesbian members. Clarke and Starr are long-standing roommates at annual conferences.
