Jeanne
Watson (1929-2015) served ICOM and ICDAD for almost twenty years. She became
one of the driving forces in advocating a separate international committee for
historic house museums (DEMHIST). Jeanne was active in the campaign which led
to the recognition of DEMHIST as a full ICOM International Committee. In
1999, she became a founding Councillor of the Executive Board of
DEMHIST. From that time to 2012, Jeanne Watson was indefatigable in
promoting the growth of DEMHIST and the success of its annual conferences.
She capped her extensive service to DEMHIST by serving two terms as Vice-Chair
of the DEMHIST Executive Board.
A
journalist by early profession, Jeanne Watson entered the museum field in in
1973 when she became a docent and then curator of the Martin Mitchell House
Museum in Naperville, Illinois. During
her career she served different Museums and Historic Houses in Illinois and New
Jersey and was an active member of AAM, the American Alliance of Museums.
Volunteer work in museums was a matter close to Jeanne’s heart.
