Jeff Roth is the archivist in charge of the New York Times clipping and photo archive, known as "the morgue." After working for a while at an airport, Roth joined the Times archive in 1993; the newspaper slowly reduced the number of its filing staff until he was the only one taking care of the archive.^[1] In Obit, Roth described how the Times archive is still used to make obituaries.^[2]
