Dr. Vitaut Kipel, Former First Assistant of the New York Public Library Science and Technology Division, Passed Away at Age 95

 


Dr. Vitaut Kipel, a renowned scholar of Byelorussians in America, passed away at age 95.  Until 1985 he was Assistant Chief of the York Public Library Science and Technology Division.  He hired me as a reference librarian in 1983.  I wrote a tribute to him in 2013 in my companion blog devoted to professional library issues.  His obituary may be found at My Central Jersey.  My condolences to his family.
