It is almost unbelievable that a professional of Healey’s calibre could abandon the work in which she excelled. From the library at Oxford University Museum of Natural History.

Left: Fossil bivalves from Burma (Myanmar), part of the La Touche collection sorted and identified by Maud Healey. Tantalizing snippets like a 1910 marriage record might suggest that she turned to a life of domesticity, but whether Healey continued to engage with geology as a hobby remains uncertain. What happened to her afterwards is unclear. She continued her work identifying La Touche’s collection of Burmese fossils after retiring from the Museum in 1906 and published a report about them in 1908. While Healey worked with the identification of species, acknowledged by La Touche himself as ‘a more difficult lot to work at’ than similar specimens assigned to her male contemporaries, the physical collection and therefore its name and record is attributed to a male geologist. Healey later worked with specimens collected by Henry Digges La Touche in colonial Burma (now Myanmar). “The first female Fellows and the status of women in the Geological Society of London.” Geological Society, London, Special Publications 317, no. Of the 263 guests, 34 were women, 20 of whom were the wives or daughters of academics, and only 9, including Healey, were present ‘in their own right’. Healey can be seen seated in the fourth row from the front, three chairs to the left. Photo of the Geological Society of London centenary dinner in 1907, at which Maud Healey was present. Sollas remarked that he had listened with great pleasure to the complimentary remarks on the work of the Authoress, and regretted that she was not present to defend before the Society her own position in the disputed matter of nomenclature.” Predating the Society’s 1904 decision to admit women to meetings if introduced by fellows, Healey had been unable to attend the reading of her own paper. Closing the Geological Society of London’s discussion of one of her papers, “Prof. However, Healey was continually marginalized on the basis of her gender. These publications were at the centre of debates about standardising the geological nomenclature, and turning geology into a practical academic discipline that could sustain links across continents. Here, she catalogued thousands of specimens and produced three publications. After studying Natural Sciences at Lady Margaret Hall in 1900, Healey worked at the Museum as an assistant to Professor William Sollas from 1902–1906. This will prove a serious check to the rate of progress which has for some time been maintained in the work of rearrangement, and it is hoped that her retirement may be only temporary.” So ends the Oxford University Museum of Natural History’s 1906 Annual Report, marking the near-complete departure of Maud Healey from the archival record.ĭespite how little of her history has been preserved, it is clear that Maud Healey made significant contributions to the field of geology.
