- Eleanor (Nora) Fisher (1908-2003) fue una naturalista, y escritora norirlandesa. Primera de las dos hijas de Ernest y Janet Fisher, nació en Belfast el 16 de marzo de 1908, reconocida la mayor experta autodidacta en historia natural, especialmente conquiliología, especializándose en Mollusca posglaciar de agua dulce, y con amplios intereses académicos en historia natural, geología y otras áreas, así como botánica amateur, naturalista e historiadora local. Una escritora prolífica, con más de 400 publicaciones. Se mudó a Liverpool en 1933; y, con una breve interrupción debido a casarse en 1937, trabajó en el Museo Liverpool hasta su jubilación en 2000, con 92 años. Por el tiempo de su deceso en 2003, se había convertido en casi el último vínculo directo con dos generaciones de irlandeses y británicos conquiliólogos victorianos, trayendo distinción a tales temas científicos a través de su investigación personal y campo de recolección. Largamente autodidacta, se le confirió un MSc honorario por la Universidad de Liverpool en 1991. Presidenta de Conchological Society de Gran Bretaña e Irlanda, y elegida miembro de la Academia irlandesa Real en 1970. Recibió un MBE por su obra en 1992. (es)
- Born Eleanor Fisher, the first of Ernest and Janet Fisher's two daughters, in Belfast on 16 March 1908, but known even then as "Nora", Nora Fisher McMillan, as she became, was a larger-than-life self-taught expert in natural history, especially conchology, specialising in post-glacial fresh-water Mollusca, but with broad academic interests in the history of natural history, geology and other areas, as well as being a keen amateur botanist, naturalist and local historian. She wrote prolifically, with over 400 publications to her name. She moved to Liverpool in 1933 and, with a short interruption due to her marriage in 1937, worked for the Liverpool Museum until her retirement in 2000 at the age of 92. By the time of her death in 2003, she had become almost the last direct link with two generations of Irish and British Victorian conchologists who brought distinction to the subject through their personal research and field collecting. Largely self-taught, she was conferred an Honorary MSc by the University of Liverpool in 1991, was President of the Conchological Society of Great Britain and Ireland, and was elected a Member of the Royal Irish Academy in 1970. She received an MBE for her life's work in 1992. (en)
