Judith A. Schiff (1937-2022) spoke on women’s history as recorded in Grove Street Cemetery. Shiff was the chief research archivist at Yale University Library, and was a library staff member for more than fifty years. She was also a member of the cemetery’s Standing Committee of Proprietors and a founder of the Friends of the Grove Street Cemetery.
Barbara Oberg (1942-2024) was the commentator on Schiff’s paper. A historian of early America and a scholar, she was editor of the Papers of Benjamin Franklin at Yale University (1986-1999) and editor of the Papers of Thomas Jefferson at Princeton University (1999-2014).
