Mrs. Shinkman, a longtime resident of Washington, moved to the nation's capital in 1942 with her husband. With wartime gasoline rationing in effect, many suburban families could not drive to public libraries so she organized a large neighborhood collection of books to be shared.

After her husband's death she published a collection of his articles and drawings under the title "So Little Disillusion." About 10 years ago, she published her own memoirs, "The Most Estimable Place and Time." She was a collector of first editions of children's books .
