Olive was a very active member of the Hawaiian 

Shell News staff for many years. She was in 

charge of advertisements carried in HSN, but one 

of her main functions was in providing good photographs 

for HSN. She was a very good photographer 

primarily interested in photographing shells 

and their animals. 

After her death, her books of slides was 

Olive Schoenberg-Dole Slides 

given to me to insure that those slides were made 

available to shell scientists and collectors. This is 

part of that effort. Later, the slides and graphics 

obtained by scanning them (by Wes Thorsson and 

Sid Sneidar) will be given to the University of Hawaii. 

Labels for photos are to right or below

to CONCH-L by Email to: 

LISTSERV@LISTSERV.UGA.EDU 

with no entry under SUBJECT, and in the text 

portion enter only the following line 

Persons on the list send in an observation by 

Email, which is automatically forwarded to all 

members on the list. This message is called a 

“posting”. Members, who have comments or further 

observations on a subject, Email them and 

these comments are also sent to all on the list.
