The Daniel A. Cannon Memorial Library Archives and Special Collections Division has been preparing the Papers of M. Dorothy Neuhofer, OSB, a beloved former member of the Society of Florida Archivists. Sister Dorothy, as she was known to all, passed away in October 2015. She was a tenured full professor and had held several positions, such as University Archivist/Special Collections Librarian and Library Director/Director of Library Services, over her 50-year career with Saint Leo University in Pasco County ,Florida. Sister Dorothy’s Papers delve into her experiences, to name just a few, with the Catholic Library Association (member and past president), Florida State University (graduate study for her PhD in library science), and the publication in 1999 by University Press of America of her doctoral dissertation In the Benedictine Tradition: The Origins and Early Development of Two College Libraries. Her Papers also illuminate the daily decisions during the decades of academic development and leadership of Cannon Memorial Library for which she was responsible.

Cannon Memorial Library
