Additionally, The James Leland Dirks, Jr. Library Preservation Endowed 
Fundwas established in July 2012 by long-time Libraries friend and 
champion, Lee Dirks.  In Lee's words, "/It is my intention, with this 
endowment, to help preserve both the general and special collections of 
the University of Washington while enabling students to gain valuable 
experience towards their potential career in the library field and beyond./"

Lee was a 1990 graduate of the School of Information and Library Science 
at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and the holder of an 
Advanced Certificate in Preservation Administration from the Columbia 
University School of Library Science. He was passionate about the 
preservation of library materials and simultaneously committed to 
supporting students in their pursuit of a UW iSchool degree.  As a 
Director in the Connections team at Microsoft Research, Lee worked 
closely with the UW Libraries on current and future issues at the heart 
of academic research and education.
