Arthur Waugh, who passed away on May 15, 2009, was a librarian at UC Berkeley for 35 years. He served as the Architecture and then Environmental Design Librarian until his retirement in 1983.

Waugh earned his Master's in Librarianship in 1948. He first worked as Circulation Supervisor for the Reserve Book Room, then as an assistant to University Librarian Donald Coney. In 1951, Waugh became architecture's first professional librarian. He coordinated  the merger and move of the Architecture, City and Regional Planning, Decorative Arts, and Lanscape Architecture Libraries into the Environmental Design Library in 1964, when Wurster Hall was completed. He was also acting head of the Art/Anthropology Library until 1978.

Rest in peace, Arthur.
