Paleontologist Maria Pavlova’s communication with foreign scientists in the late 19th-early 20th century (2021)

unapi

Maria V. Pavlova (1854-1938) was one of the first Russian women paleontologists. In 1884, she graduated from the Sorbonne in Paris specializing in paleozoology. She worked for many years at Moscow University with her husband geologist Aleksey P. Pavlov. Studying the remains of fossil vertebrates, she visited museums in London, Paris, Munich, St. Petersburg, Vienna, and other places that housed paleontological collections of interest to her studies. Maria presented her paleontological work to foreign scientists and corresponded with prominent geologists and paleontologists in Europe and America. Many letters from Albert Gaudry, Ludwig Rütimeyer, Eduard Suess, Arthur Woodward, Othenio Abel, Karl Redlich, Antje Schreuder, Henry Fairfield Osborn, Johannes Walther and others are stored in the Archive of the Russian Academy of Science (Aras). In 1925, she became a corresponding member of the Academy of Sciences of the USSR and in 1930, she became an Honorary Member. Pavlova was also a foreign correspondent or member of many foreign Geological and Zoological Societies.
