Biographical / historical:

BETTY LOCHRIE HOAG McGLYNN (1914-2002) was an art historian, research director, archivist, and author specializing in American and California art (particularly artists of Northern California). A graduate of Stanford University (bachelor's) and the University of Southern California (master's), Ms. McGlynn began her professional career as a field researcher for the Archives of American Art, interviewing more than 200 Southern California artists who worked on the Federal Arts Project (circa 1933-1946) of the Works Project Administration. (Many of those interviews and their transcripts are available online via the Archives of American Art, Smithsonian Institution). Having developed an interest in art at a young age, Ms. McGlynn spent five decades working for a number of museums, historical societies, and art associations in Northern California and as a private consultant. The daughter of artist Elizabeth Lochrie and daughter-in-law of artist Thomas Arnold McGlynn, Ms. McGlynn was a recognized authority on early California art and artists. She authored the book, Carmel Art Association: A History c1987; edited Noticias del Puerto de Monterey: A Quarterly Bulletin of Historic Monterey Issued by the Monterey History and Art Association; and was a frequent lecturer and contributor to art magazines, newsletters and newspapers. She created a substantial archive of clippings, correspondence, images, and research notes to support her work, and this collection is found in the Betty Hoag McGlynn Archive at the Monterey Museum of Art (See also: Betty Hoag/Betty McGlynn collections located at the Archives of American Art, Smithsonian Institution and the Bancroft Library, University of California Berkeley).
