There is a nice article by Gary North, who had been asked to serve as
executor of her estate, in _The Portolan_ (journal of the Washington Map
Society) 79 (winter 2010): 20-7. The Geography and Map Division of LC
houses the collection, and as I understand it some 40,000 items from her
(and Bruce Heezen's) collection have been processed. North's article was
based on his similar work, "Marie Tharp: The Lady Who Showed Us the
Ocean Floors," that had been published as part of an Elsevier series in
the fall of 2010: /The Physics and Chemistry of the Earth./
