About the Marjorie Whiting Center
After her death in 1995, a non-profit foundation, the Marjorie Grant Whiting Center for Humanity, Arts and the Environment, was established with the aim of preserving Marjorie’s’ scientific and humanistic legacy. The Center has donated Marjorie’s research papers to the University of Hawaii Library to enable contemporary and future scholars to evaluate her contribution to Guam’s Disease, a mysterious neuromuscular disease.
