Daphne Haldin
Born in 1899 in Norwich to Alfred Haldinstein and Edith Haldinstein, Daphne was one of seven children. Haldin died in 1973 in Hampstead, London. Her father Alfred was a shoe manufacturer and merchant, and later became President of the Norwich Hebrew Congregation and chairman of the Norfolk Daily Standard Company Ltd and Sheriff of Norwich.

Haldin was an art historian and honourable secretary of the Society of Jews and Christians. She studies History of Art at the University College London and wrote for The Connoisseur.

Although christened as Haldinstein, Daphne referred to herself as Haldin.

Dictionary of Women Artists
Her work on the Dictionary of Women Artists born before 1850, attempted to redress the balance of scholarship on women artists by compiling an archive of references to women artists. Daphne Haldin's archive is now housed in the Paul Mellon Centre Archive.
