Eleanor Sherman Font (May 31, 1896-Sept. 8, 1982)[1] was hired as prints curator at the Hispanic Society of America before expanding into iconography.[2][3] She was one of six women chosen by Archer Milton Huntington to deepen their knowledge in art curation for the Society after graduating from library sciences programs. Her great-grandfather is Thomas Hopkins Gallaudet, founder of the American School for the Deaf in Hartford.[4] She was deaf and volunteered for deaf causes throughout her life.[4] During her life, she participated in services at St. Ann's Church for Deaf-Mutes, where she "sang" in American Sign Language with others in the choir.[5]
