On October 1, 2009, Judith R. Goodstein retired after 41 years as Caltech's first university archivist. After receiving her PhD in the history of science from the University of Washington, Goodstein came to Caltech in 1968 to create an institutional archive formed around the papers of Caltech's faculty and administrators, beginning with George Ellery Hale, Robert Millikan, and Theodore von Kármán.

Among many other scholarly achievements, Goodstein wrote a history of Caltech, Millikan's School (1991). Goodstein is succeeded in the Archives by long-time associate archivist Shelley Erwin.
