Miriam Usher Chrisman

Miriam Usher Chrisman (May 20, 1920 – November 17, 2008) was an American historian of sixteenth-century Germany and the Reformation.[1] Active as an individual scholar, teacher, and collaborator, she was one of the founders of the Sixteenth Century Society and Conference.[2] She was an early adopter of digital techniques for historical research, but, in her capacity as a longtime officer of the SCSC, she celebrated the field's past as a foundation for later work.[3] She taught at the University of Massachusetts Amherst from 1962 to 1985.[1]
