Did you know the Merril Collection holds a real Hugo Award?
Judith Merril began her own biography but didn’t finish it. Her granddaughter Emily Pohl-Weary completed Better to Have Loved: The Life of Judith Merril, which won the Hugo Award in 2003. She donated the Hugo to the Merril Collection! #sff
