Nancy Shelby Schuller, age 71, died on November 8, 2011 following a long illness. She was born on August 20, 1940 to Joe Aubrey Shelby and Ida Ellenora Anderson Shelby. She is survived by her husband Brian Schuller of Austin, daughter Shelby Nicole Schuller of Alexandria, VA, and by family members throughout the United States.
Nancy graduated from Stephen F. Austin High School and obtained a BA in Studio Art and an MFA in Art History at the University of Texas at Austin. In 1963 she joined the staff at UT as a teaching assistant, and she held several positions at the University, retiring in 2001 as Curator and Senior Lecturer of the Visual Resources Collection in the Department of Art and Art History. Department chair Kenneth J. Hale described Nancy's tenure at UT as one of "phenomenal accomplishment in the areas of teaching and administration." In her career, she demonstrated great drive and adaptability with the change from slide and photograph collections to electronic management of visual resources with digital scanning and cataloging for delivery and access on the Internet. She frequently participated in and delivered papers at national visual resources and library conferences. She also led workshops on the classification of materials and on standards and protocols for dissemination of visual images in a range of settings, including libraries, historical archives, and governmental agencies. Nancy wrote books and guides and co-authored numerous articles for professional journals. She received Distinguished Service awards from the Art Libraries Society of North America and the Visual Resources Association, and she was active as a member and officer of several national and local organizations. From 1983 to 1992 she was listed in the Who's Who in American Art. Nancy's interest in the artistic world was evidenced by her love of art museums and by her fine seamstress skills and her culinary creativity. She was a member of the Episcopal Church of the Good Shepherd, where she sang in the choir for many years and served on the altar guild.
