About Amelia Gayle Gorgas

Amelia Gayle Gorgas was librarian and postmaster of the University of Alabama for 25 years until her retirement at the age of eighty in 1907. She expanded the library from 6,000 to 20,000 volumes. The primary library at the university is named after her.

Gorgas. She was inducted into the Alabama Women's Hall of Fame in 1977.
