Written by Janet’s successor as U-M’s Librarian for Slavic, East European, and Eurasian Studies, it offers a unique perspective on Janet’s many achievements and her legacy at U-M and beyond. Through conversations with Janet and her colleagues, the author finds that, even more than her love of books, her intimate knowledge of the SEEE region, and her belief in the many vital roles that libraries play, what made this great collector truly great was her passion for people and for service.KEYWORDS: Collection developmentYugoslav wars (1991-2001)BosniaCrayneUniversity of MichiganArdis Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Notes1. East View Information Services actually began in 1989, dealing heavily in cartography; but Janet recalls their very rapid growth, including pioneering service automation, after the collapse.2. Placek was a native Michigander, with degrees from University of Detroit (BA), Catholic University of America (MLS), and Georgetown University (MS). Along with Donald R. Mandich, Placek authored Russian Heraldry and Nobility (1992), based on ten-volume Obschii gerbovnik dvorianskikh rodov Vserossiiskoi Imperii (1797–1840). Placek was a devout Roman Catholic, too, and also helped compose the annotated bibliography The Guide to Catholic Literature (1962).3. Peter Kudrik was born Petr Aleksandrovich Kudrin in 1914 in Russia. The Hoover Institution at Stanford University holds his papers, and an excerpt from the description of that collection summarizes his remarkable experience: “[Kudrik’s] family lived in Vilnius (now Lithuania) between the two world wars. […] After World War II, Kudrik lived in a displaced-persons camp in Germany and moved to the United States in 1950. He studied at the University of North Carolina, where he received his degree in library science. He later found employment as a Slavic librarian and curator at the University of Michigan and at Stanford University. After retiring, he worked for a time as manager of the San Francisco – based Russian newspaper Russkaia zhizn’. Kudrik died in San Francisco in 1991. His papers consist of photographs, personal documents, correspondence, and reports (in part relating to Soviet book trade and librarianship).” Read more about Kudrik and his papers at Anatol Shmelev, “Peter Kudrik Papers in the Hoover Institution Archives,” News from the Hoover Institution Library & Archives [online], https://www.hoover.org/news/peter-kudrik-papers-hoover-institution-archives (accessed January 16, 2020).4. The Oriental Institute was shelled on 18 May 1992. The National and University Library of Bosnia and Herzegovina suffered the same fate during the night of 25–26 August 1992, when most of the 2 million volumes held in the building were destroyed.5.

There have been a few biographical accounts of Croucher that highlight his achievements as a professional area studies librarian in the United States and his contributions to Slavic and East European studies and librarianship. Drawing on unpublished documents provided by the Indiana University Archives as well as published sources, this essay expands existing accounts dedicated to Croucher by providing more details on his personal background and career experiences prior to his tenure at IU. It also incorporates the story of IU’s emergence as a stronghold of Slavic studies in the Midwest, the rise of its Slavic collection before Croucher, and brief biographical sketches of his two predecessors, Dr. Fritz T. Epstein (1898–1979) and Dr. Andrew (Andrij) Turchyn (1912–2004). These sketches serve as background that place Croucher’s work in a broader context and illuminate his achievements as a professional Slavic area studies librarian.KEYWORDS: Murlin Croucher(1941–2010)Slavic collectionIndiana Universitycollection developmentSlavic studiesNicolaevsky collectionIsrael Perlstein (1897–1975)Andrew Turchyn(1912–2004)Epstein (1898–1979) AcknowledgmentsI would like to thank Dina Kellam, Director of the Indiana University Archives, and Bradley Cook, Curator of Photographs, for finding some of the archival sources and photographs for this work.Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Notes1.
