content: Philip D. Shore (1932-2013) was born in Knoxville, Tennessee, to Quaker parents Marvin H. and Pansy Shore.  He graduated from Earlham College in 1954 and was granted Conscientous Objector status during the Korean War.  His alternative service with the American Friends Service Committee (AFSC) placed him in the Mexican village El Desemboque in Sonora.  During the AFSC project to build an adobe hut, Shore developed acquaintances with the local Seri people and collected examples of Seri handicrafts.  In 1957, Shore left the AFSC to earn his Masters of Library Science at the University of North Carolina, and eventually worked as a librarian at Earlham College.
