About the Loren Eiseley Society

The Loren Eiseley Society was formed in May of 1982 to encourage interest in and knowledge of his work, to provide a forum for readers and scholars, and to collect and preserve material about his life and writing.

The society offers a variety of resources and educational/outreach programs, including:

 

Naomi Brill Memorial

Naomi Brill, a long-time professor of social work at the University of Nebraska at Omaha and former Board Member of the Loren Eiseley Society, died Friday, January 8, 1999 at the age of 84 in Lincoln. Memorials have been designated to Prairie/Plains Research Institute, the Audubon Society, or the Nature Conservatory. Brill was the author of several books, one of which is used as a standard text in most schools of social work around the country. A graduate of the University of Kentucky and the Columbia School of Social Work, she also received an Honorary Doctor of Letters from Doane College. After retiring from the School of Social Work, Brill went on to study natural science and wrote a weekly nature column for the Lincoln Journal-Star.
