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] The archive exists in the sub-sub basement of the old International Herald Tribune building.[2]InObit, Roth described how the Times archive is still used to make obituaries.[3]

Ghislaine Maxwell Connection

Roth is a cousin of British former socialite and convicted sex offender Ghislaine Maxwell. As a family member, Roth attended the 2021 trial in which Maxwell was convicted of child sex trafficking. In June 2022, Roth described Maxwell as a "friend and confidant" in a letter filed in Manhattan Federal Court by Maxwell's attorneys.[4][5]
