スミソニアン博物館のインスタグラム(smithsonian) - 3月20日 06時51分

Sophie Lutterlough was the first woman elevator operator at @smithsoniannmnh. Lutterlough would study the museum's exhibits on her lunch break—back then, there wasn't an information desk, and visitors would ask her about what was on display.
She got to know the staff as well, and asked the insect curator if there was work for her in his department. Lutterlough starting sorting and preparing insects in 1957.
Two years later, she became a research assistant to curator Ralph Crabill. Lutterlough restored and classified insects, reading entomology books and taking college courses to learn more. With Dr. Crabill, she discovered about 40 type specimens (which define a species) mixed into the general collection.

mwright69 Sophie Lutterlough and my Grandmother worked in the same department. My grandmother was secretary to NMNH Entomology Dept. Chair, Dr. Karl V. Crombine. Elsie Hughes Barnes (1916-2003) was one of many Black Women who made NMNH history and the Smithsonian a more inclusive work environment. Great post. Thank you. #BecauseofHerStory
