Caroline Hannaway, PhD (1943 to 2024)

ONHM was saddened to learn of the recent passing of Caroline Hannaway, PhD., an historian and editor in our office from 1992 until 2008. ONHM owes her an enduring debt of gratitude for her many contributions to this office and to the history of NIH itself.

ONHM is delighted to welcome Dr. Loren E. Miller as its new Senior Curator. She succeeds Founding Curator Michele Lyons, who retired in December 2023. Dr. Miller holds a PhD in U.S. History from American University and comes to ONHM from the Smithsonian, where she contributed to several exhibitions, publications, and public programs. As curator and historian at the National Library of Medicine from 2012 to 2017, she co-developed a wide range of highly successful exhibits, teaching plans, and digital content. We’re looking forward to her help in bringing NIH history into the future!
