Jean Hagger (1917-2008)
We record the passing of a notable member, Jean Hagger. Jean was a member of the committee of AusSI from 1976 to 1986, secretary, 1979-80, vice president, 1982-83 and president, 1984-86. She represented the Society at conferences of the Society of Indexers (UK) in 1978, 1983 and 1985. During her presidency in 1985 she inaugurated the Society’s Medal and during 1996 she and Joyce Gillespie, another life member, organised the deposit of the Society’s archives in the State Library of Victoria. Her service to the Society was recognised in 1998 by the award of Honorary Life membership.
She retained her interest in the profession to the end of her long life. Recently I visited her to receive some more records which are destined for the archives. Michael Ramsden, her colleague at RMIT, has written the account of Jean’s life which
appears below.
