Frederick (Freddy) Blair Stitt (1923-2016)

摘要

Freddy Stitt, who has died at the age of 93, was one of the last of the great pioneering post-war county archivists to whom the archive profession and students of history owe so much. He also had the unique distinction amongst his peers of running a county museum service in tandem with both a county archive service and a long-standing private antiquarian library. Scholarly, generous in sharing his vast knowledge of archives, committed, pragmatic and forward-looking, he possessed fine diplomatic skills which were to stand him in good stead throughout his career.1
