Richmond, Charles Wallace 1868-1932 Parents Edward Leslie and Josephine Ellen Richmond (nee Henry). eldest son. Taught by William Brewster to prepare skins. Member of the Appleton Club, which meets yearly in Washington. (from Mathews obit in Ibis 1932 p.691-3.) The Smithsonian biography reads:
"Charles Wallace Richmond (1868-1932) was born in Kenosha, Wisconsin, and moved to Washington, D.C., in 1881 where he became a page at the House of Representatives.
In 1888, he joined a United States Geological Survey expedition to Montana to pursue his ornithological interests, and later joined the staff of the United States Department of Agriculture as an ornithological clerk in the Division of Economic Ornithology and Mammalogy.
After a collecting trip to Nicaragua, Richmond returned to Washington and became a night watchman at the United States National Museum (USNM). He was soon promoted to the position of Aid and then Assistant in the Section of Birds.
In 1894, Richmond was appointed Assistant Curator of Birds, and in 1918 he became Associate Curator of this division. In 1929, he was appointed Curator but was reappointed Associate Curator at his own suggestion to allow for the appointment of Herbert Friedmann as Curator in the same year.

Richmond's scientific work dealt largely with problems of ornithological nomenclature in which he was recognized as an international authority. One of Richmond's greatest contributions to the field was his card catalog of generic and specific names of birds which was consulted by ornithologists all over the world." Richmond's Index remains a vital source of bibliographic and nomenclatural information. Richmond's plans for publishing the work were frustrated by the outbreak of WWI (the intended publisers were German) and the work was never published in his lifetime. Broader availability was made possible by the microfiche publication late in 1992. Regarding the Index, Dickinson states (Zoological Bibliography 2 (2 & 3) p.78 note 2.) "But depiction of such evidence was beyond the scope of the index cards which were not intended for publication." The evidence Dickinson uses to make this assertion are apparently beyond the scope of his own publication. They contradict the references Richmond makes in his letters to Witmer Stone regarding his frustrated progress towards publishing the Index.
