Very sorry to hear this news.
Mary was a great person to work with and we were associated by working on the Anglo American Cataloguing Committee for Cartographic Materials..
We had some hilarious memories of the Eucalyptus Oil manufacturing paraphernalia at Inglewood(reminiscent of Punch magazine) which is now part of history, as there is a brand new process on the site of the original oil press and distillery which has been incorporated into the Museum there. Talk about dating yourself that was 30 years ago.

Mary was perhaps not so well known to Australian or NZ map librarians, but obviously dearly treasured by many US colleagues, as there has been much activity on Map-L and related lists over the weekend. Her Map librarianship book went to many editions.

Subject: sad news: Mary Larsgaard
Dear Friends:
It is with a heavy heart that I write to inform you of the passing of our friend and former colleague Mary Larsgaard. Mary took ill last winter, and passed comfortably on Tuesday morning. Up until early June, Mary continued to enjoy lunch outings and discussions of her reading list with friends.
Mary arrived at UCSB as map librarian and assistant department head of the Map & Imagery Laboratory in 1988, and for her final year served as department head before retiring in June of 2009.
Mary literally wrote the book on map librarianship. It is called Map Librarianship, and Mary penned all three editions: 1978, 1987, and 1998. She was a giant in the cataloging field: frequently writing with Penn State’s Paige Andrew, and served for decades on the Anglo-American Cataloguing Committee for Cartographic Materials. With Paige, she was a founding editor of the Journal of Map and Geography Libraries.
Mary earned her Master of Arts in Library Science from the University of Minnesota, and holds a second MA in Geography from the University of Oregon. Prior to coming to UCSB, she was Assistant Director for Special Collections at the Colorado School of Mines. She also has the distinction of serving as president or chair of all three major American map library organizations: ALA’s Map & Geography Roundtable, SLA’s Geography and Map Division, and the Western Association of Map Libraries.
Mary is survived by her sister Caroline Thompson. A memorial service is being planned for Friday, August 4 in Santa Barbara, which is Mary’s birthday. Details to follow.
