Margaret Hamilton Storey (July 31, 1900 – October 18, 1960) was an American museum curator, herpetologist and ichthyologist. She worked for the Stanford University Natural History Museum for over 25 years.
Biography
[edit]Storey was born in San Francisco, California, into an educated household.[1] Her father, Thomas Storey, was the founder of the Stanford University School of Health.[2] Storey attended Cornell University, receiving an A.B. degree in 1922 and received her master's degree in 1936 from Stanford University.[3] She began working at the Stanford Natural History Museum first as a volunteer, but in 1940, was given a "regular staff appointment."[1] Storey worked as both a curator at the museum and also as a librarian of the zoological book collection[1] She worked closely with George S. Myers, supervising the curating.[4] She also edited the Stanford Ichthyological Bulletin and Occasional Papers.[1] She would work at the museum for over twenty-five years.[5]
Storey collected herpetological specimens from the United States Southwest deserts, the Rocky Mountains and Maine.[6] She contributed notes, information and corrections for books about reptiles and amphibians.[7][8] She described several fish species, including Bascanichthys paulensis, Harengula majorina and Callechelys perryae, and, with Myers, Hesperomyrus fryi. A species of Cuban gecko, Sphaerodactylus storeyae, and a species of triplefin blenny, Axoclinus storeyae, are named in her honor.[9][10] Storey and Meyers were also very involved in the Stanford Zoology Club, which dated back to the 1890s and in an ichthyology club called the Fishverein.[4]
Storey also served as the only woman Amateur Athletic Union (AAU) track timer in the country for twenty six years.[2]
Storey died after surgery on October 18, 1960.[2] An award, given to the most improved runner on the Stanford Cardinals team, is named after her.[11]
