<p><span style="font-family:"calibri","sans-serif"">Wendy Joan Shadwell passed away on October 23, 2007.<span>
</span>Wendy was a long-time curator at the New-York Historical Society, the author of many scholarly articles, and a past president of the AHPCS.<span>
</span>She left a substantial bequest to the American Historical Print Collectors Society to encourage interest in American historical prints. An area of special concern to Wendy was the “Preservation of Early American Prints,” and the Wendy Shadwell Print
Conservation Grant Program has been established to further that aim.</span></p>
