Peterson, who served as reference librarian and curator of the Central and West- ern European Collections of the Hoover In- stitution at Stanford University for 41 years, died September 1, 2008. Peterson found her forte as West European curator, fi rst defacto and then officially in 1958, a position she held until she retired in 1993. She ordered tens of thousands of books for thousands of scholars. She facilitated the acquisition of some of the most valuable archival collec- tions at Hoover, such as the Louis Loucheur papers, additional Rosa Luxemburg materi- als, Himmler’s early diaries, the Karl B. Frank papers, oral histories with European public figures conducted by Keith Middlemas, and videos and posters relating to German reuni- fication. In 1980, she was awarded the Order of Leopold II by Belgium. In recognition of her research and writing, she was appointed Hoover Institution research fellow in 1986. While at Hoover, together with Grete Heinz, Peterson compiled a guide to the content of 146 reels of microfilm containing Nazi party documents: NSDAP Hauptarchiv: A Guide to the Hoover Institution Microfi lm Collection. In 1980 she compiled the fi rst guide to the Ho- locaust research materials in the Library and Archives. Peterson was recognized as a leading expert on the work of the German communist heroine Rosa Luxemburg, and wrote several pieces on the life of Luxemburg’s previously little-known assistant, Matilde Jacob. Her book reviews, published in Library Journal, History: Review of New Books, German Studies Review, Central European History, and on H-Net, were especially esteemed by scholars as an insider’s analysis. She was active in the American His- torical Association and ALA.
