As a genealogist, he brought some order to a growing chaos of disparate independent efforts with his bibliography, and he set a standard of quality and comprehensiveness with his own publications. As a historian, Durrie stressed a populist slant by emphasizing daily events of towns and regions and the lives of the uncelebrated. While not a social historian in the late twentieth-century sense, Durrie was moving in that direction in contradistinction to mainstream historians. Research libraries, the art of genealogy, and the focus of history...were invigorated by Durrie's life and work..." (Leslie H. Fishel in the ANB); previous owner name of Liston D.
