Professor Emeritus Marvin W. Falk is semi-retired from the University of Alaska Fairbanks where he continues to edit his Rasmuson Library Historical Translation Series for the University of Alaska Press. Trained in the history of Europe, he came to UAF to work as a bibliographer, developing the university library's special collection on Alaska and the Polar Regions and teaching courses in history and northern studies. He later became Curator of Rare Books and began publishing a series of historical reference works on Alaska, including articles, cartobibliographies, and scholarly translations. He is a past president of the Alaska Historical Society.

"Historian and bibliographer Falk cites 3,030 published works, providing most with descriptive, summary, or explanatory annotations. They include works on the environment, prehistory, Alaska natives, Russian Alaska, and the US era. Other sections cover atlases, map literature and gazetteers; bibliographies and indexes; and selected manuscript guides and descriptions. Noting the advantage online databases have with such documents, he excludes government publications except historical expedition accounts or histories, and popular newspaper and magazine articles." - Reference & Research Book News
