Judith Schiff

Judith Schiff (November 26, 1937 – July 11, 2022) was an American archivist. She was chief research archivist at Yale University and historian for the city of New Haven, Connecticut.[1][2][3]

Early life

Schiff was born in New York City, but grew up in New Haven, where she attended Hillhouse High School.[4] She earned a degree in history from Barnard College, and returned to work at the Cowles Foundation at Yale.[5]

Career as a librarian

Schiff's first job at the Yale University Library was to catalog the papers of William Dwight Whitney and Josiah Dwight Whitney.[6] She worked at the university for more than 60 years, becoming Yale University Library chief research archivist in 1971.[1] She met Millicent Todd Bingham and helped to acquire the papers of Bingham's mother, Mabel Loomis Todd, an editor of Emily Dickinson's poetry.[1] In the 1960s, Schiff got to know Charles Lindbergh and his wife, Anne Morrow Lindbergh, who visited the library to look at Lindbergh's manuscripts.[1] She went on to co-edit Lindbergh's Autobiography of Values, and co-wrote a biography of the aviator.[1] Schiff also helped determine that a skeleton exposed by a tree uprooted by Hurricane Sandy in 2012 dated to the 18th century.[7]

In addition, Schiff organized exhibitions. She served on the group investigating Yale's slavery history.[6]

Schiff was inspired by a "history from below," and her work often focused on telling the history of marginalized people, including women and people of color.[4]

Beyond Yale, Schiff was a founder of New England Archivists, the Jewish Historical Society of Greater New Haven, and the Ethnic Heritage Center of New Haven.[4]

While working at Yale, she earned a master’s degree in history from Columbia University and a degree in library science from Southern Connecticut State College.[1]

Recognition

Schiff won the Edward Bouchet Legacy Award for her research, the Linda Lorimarr Award for Distinguished Service, and the Yale Medal from the Yale Alumni Association.[6][2]
