SAA Remembers Mark A. Greene

Mark A. Greene, SAA Fellow and past president, died in a car accident on June 21, 2017. Best known for “More Product, Less Process,” which he co-authored with Dennis Meissner, Mark’s true passion was for what he considered the art of archival appraisal—the willingness to make the hard choices. His other passion was acting as a mentor for archivists entering the field and those navigating the minefields of administration. He adored his wife, Kathy Marquis. He loved archival work. And dogs. And his friends. We will all miss him, but he left much behind for generations to chew over and digest.

Heartfelt condolences to Kathy and family. I was on Council when Mark was President of SAA. He was always open to differing viewpoints and a generous colleague. He will be missed!

RIP, Mark. I first met you

RIP, Mark. I first met you when I was a student. We never got to know each other well, but the few times we spoke, you always had good advice. The respect you received from the profession is well-deserved.

I never worked with Mark, but

I never worked with Mark, but I did learn a lot (and think a lot) from his writings. His SAA presidential address on "The Power of Archives: Archivists' Values and Value in the Postmodern Age" is one of my favorites. He made a major impact on the profession and will be greatly missed.

I had the pleasure of working with Mark years ago on a SAA working group. His dedication was nothing short of awe inspiring. It is people like Mark who made me want to be more active in SAA and the community as a whole. Mark will be sorely missed. My heart goes out to his family and friends.
